Language Learning and Acquisition: Successes and Obstacles Ibtehaj Mohammed Akhorsheda

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to shed light on the process of language learning and acquisition as to understand the basic strength and weakness points of the leaner’s capabilities of acquiring a new language. It is indeed important to consider the main elements and principles that feature and constitute the very core issue of language acquisition including the obstacles and the factors associated with this persistent process. It is essential to point out here that the elements and principles of learning a language are somehow subjective in the sense that they differ from one leaner to another, especially when we consider the functional and contextual part of the language on different levels. Therefore, learning the functional and practical part of the language can facilitate and simplify the process of understanding the meaningful context implied in each situational context such as the use simple daily conversations, dialogues, and even body language.
