Abstract:
|
Second language (L2) learning is a complex process that can take place using several different
methods. The purpose of this review is to examine second language learning methods and to
evaluate their overall effectiveness. Theories and past research comparing the different contexts
are studied, culminating in speculation about how the United States can improve its foreign
language education. One conclusion is that depending on the learner’s goals a combination of
methods would be ideal. Further research on what exact processes are important in learning a
second language is warranted. |
