Individuals, learning, second languageAbstract
Learning a language is essential for promoting communication amongst people with different linguistic origins. Learning a new language can be a difficult process that calls for motivation and commitment. This article explores effective methods and best practices in second language acquisition (SLA). It reviews various instructional approaches, including communicative language teaching, task-based learning, and immersion strategies. The findings indicate that a combination of these methods, tailored to learners' needs and contexts, enhances language acquisition and retention. Recommendations for educators are provided to optimize second language instruction
