The Effects of Linguistic Environment on Second Language Acquisition
Abstract
This paper focuses on the effects of the linguistic environment on second language acquisition (SLA). For SLA, language input is essential, especially authentic language input. The informal linguistic environment also plays a vital role in SLA. This study suggests that students need extensive exposure to the informal environment of second language (L2). We should create a positive linguistic environment in the foreign language classroom.
