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.
A native language is a language that you learn after you born and second language can be described as a language that you learn after your learn your native language. It is also possible that you can be a bilingual speaker.
To learn any language according to current theory the student must be literate in their first language (L1) to learn the second language (L2). This was developed by a researcher named Krashian. He stated that the L1 is used as a foundation for the learning of L2 and the student pairs the L1 to the L2 as they learn. For instance, in English the word bread is brot in German. To learn this the student would know the L1 word in English and then add the L2 to it. With use he/she would drop the L1 and only use the L2 when needed. This works for verbal as well as oral language acquisition.
Example: Your mother and father speak Spanish to you. You have learned Spanish before any other languages. That is your first language. Then, you learn English because you live in America. That is the second language you learn. That is English as (a) second language. The second language you learn is your (language) as (a) second language. I hope that helped.
Sequential bilingualism refers to the process of learning a second language after the first language has already been established. This typically occurs when a person learns a second language at a later stage in life, such as through formal education or immersion in a new linguistic environment. Sequential bilingualism can impact language development and proficiency in both languages.
TESOL stands for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. It refers to a field of study and a profession that focuses on teaching English as a second or foreign language. With a TESOL certification, individuals are equipped to teach English to non-native speakers in various settings, such as language schools, universities, or private tutoring.

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.
