Abstract

The process of learning a second language (SLA) is intricate and impacted by a variety of personal characteristics. According to research, a person's cognitive skills, social surroundings, and psychological characteristics all have a big influence on how well they pick up a new language. Gaining an understanding of these elements helps enhance language learning and teaching techniques.
