It is the study of how people learn a language which is not their native tongue. For example my native language is English, but my second language is French as i studied it from the age of ten, before i studied any other foreign languages. When researching how people learn a new language - be it in school, listening to radio or watching TV in that target language or by going to a foreign country and immersing yourself in that language, that is second language acquisition research.

However, the relationship between mother tongue and second language reading is complex and influenced by various factors including language proficiency and exposure to the second language.
