Abstract

Language acquisition is a remarkable journey, especially when it involves learning a second language, such as English, during adolescence or adulthood. This article explores the intricate cognitive processes and linguistic mechanisms that underlie second language acquisition. It delves into the challenges faced by learners and offers strategies to enhance the process. The cognitive aspects encompass memory systems, cognitive load, and knowledge transfer, while linguistic mechanisms include phonological awareness, morphology, syntax, and pragmatic skills. Additionally, the article emphasizes the importance of immersion in an English-speaking environment and leveraging technology and metacognition as tools for optimal language learning. Understanding these facets not only empowers learners but also informs educators and curriculum developers, enhancing the effectiveness and enjoyment of language acquisition.
