Second Language Learning A case study of two second language learners

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to provide a discussion on the issues raised by TESS teachers (teachers of non-native English language) as a result of the changes in English language. In simple terms, it is a study that focuses on identifying and analyzing learners' mistakes, as well as exploring the reasons behind these errors, using conceptual and theoretical methods regarding second language learning that may be reflected in these errors. According to Miles and Mitchell (2004: 5), second language learning "is the learning of any language, to any level, provided that the second language is learned only at some time after the first language is acquired."

 In summary, the case study of this research focused on two learners from the same cultural background, but who had different experiences in learning a second language. Some of the learners' faults have been explained in the research according to the social context and a variety of other factors.
