SLA theories

SLA (Second Language Acquisition) theories explore how people learn a new language after their first language. They consider factors like how we use exposure, practice, and interaction with others to develop skills. Some theories emphasize that learning is a natural process, similar to how children learn their first language, with immersion and meaningful context being important. Others highlight the role of explicit teaching, rules, and correction. Overall, SLA theories aim to explain the most effective ways to support language learners, taking into account individual differences, motivation, and the social environment.
