Children Vs Adult In Second Language Acquisition

Abstract

This paper aims to provide a more logical response to the topic of whether children are better than adults in learning a second language by examining how children and adults interact with a second or foreign language. The process of learning a second language might come via classes, social interactions, or natural acquisition. The success of learning a second language is also greatly influenced by internal factors such as the role of the first language, motivation, and attitude of the learners. The paper's findings support the hypothesis that aging is correlated with a decline in learners' memory. As long as the person concerned has a desire to utilize a foreign language or second language for the purpose of integrating and socializing, age cannot be used as a criterion for the success rate of studying a second/foreign language other than the mother tongue.
