Studies in Second Language Acquisition was created in 1978.
Yes, second language acquisition is fundamentally different from first language acquisition. In first language acquisition, children acquire language naturally and effortlessly through exposure and interaction with their environment. In second language acquisition, however, learners are consciously and intentionally acquiring a new language, often in an instructional setting, which involves different cognitive processes and strategies.
First language acquisition is the process by which infants and young children learn their native language naturally through exposure and interaction with speakers around them. Second language learning, on the other hand, is the process of acquiring a new language after the first language is already established, often through formal instruction or immersion in a second language environment. Second language learning typically involves more conscious effort and cognitive processing compared to first language acquisition.

I think it is when you learn a second language. Like, if you speak English as your first language, then learn to speak Spanish fluently, you acquired Spanish as your second language.
yes
A first language is considered a speaker's native tongue-- the language first acquired, usually starting as an infant. A second language denotes the second language acquired.In American schools, a second language is typically taught beginning in the 7th grade; however, it should be noted that languages are always easier to acquire the younger the age of the person.
The linguistic perspective on Second Language Teaching focuses on how language is learned and how second languages differ from first languages in terms of acquisition. This perspective emphasizes the importance of grammar, phonetics, semantics, and pragmatics in language learning and teaching. It also considers factors such as comprehensible input, language transfer, and interlanguage development in second language acquisition.

Understanding how we most naturally learn language (how we learned our first language) helps understand the nature of language learning. The more you can mimic this process in teaching a second language, the better.It also helps the teacher understand ways learning a second language is unlike learning one's first.

In linguistics, acquisition refers to the process by which individuals learn a language, either their first language (L1 acquisition) or a second language (L2 acquisition). This process involves developing linguistic knowledge and skills, including grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, through exposure to language input and interaction with speakers of the language. Acquisition is studied to understand how language learning occurs and how it may differ across age groups, contexts, and languages.
