Introduction
Original language description
This chapter explores the psychology behind second language acquisition (SLA), emphasizing the cognitive, affective, and sociocultural processes involved in learning a second language (L2). It examines key areas such as cognitive psychology, neuroplasticity, motivation, and individual differences, highlighting their influence on L2 learning outcomes. The chapter discusses how cognitive mechanisms like memory, attention, and problem-solving aid language acquisition, alongside the role of affective factors such as motivation and anxiety. It also addresses the sociocultural context, focusing on how identity, social networks, and cultural interactions impact language learning. By integrating insights from various psychological disciplines, the chapter provides a comprehensive framework for improving language teaching methods, supporting learners, and fostering multilingualism in diverse educational settings.
