Second language acquisition (SLA) is the study of how people learn a second language after already acquiring their first language. Researchers in this field investigate various factors that influence language learning, such as age, motivation, aptitude, and immersion in the target language environment. SLA research also examines different language learning strategies and the effectiveness of various teaching methods in helping learners develop proficiency in a second language. Overall, the goal of SLA research is to better understand the processes involved in second language learning and to improve language education practices.
