Abstract

In recent years, parents have transferred anxiety to their children. This also causes some learners to be exposed to a second language and start to learn it at an early age. However, it still reminds to be explored whether this can be more conducive to learners’ improvement in their language ability. This paper analyzes the influence of age on second language acquisition (SLA) from the perspective of critical period hypothesis (CPH) and brain function lateralization. Based on the existing research, this paper puts forward the practical application and teaching methods beneficial to students. This paper holds that the age of learning has a direct impact on the phonetic learning of second language acquisition (SLA), but its impact on other aspects of second language acquisition is not clear. Therefore, age factor has become the main research direction of this paper.
