The way we think has a tremendous impact on how we individually perceive and have the ability to learn language. From birth to adulthood, humans are expected to have obtained certain milestones helping us grow to who we become. Therefore, cognition is vital for language acquisition as it acts like the building blocks to how we think.

Linguistics play a factor in language acquisition since it involves the act of verbally speaking. Vocabulary is important because it can either make one’s sentences go from simple to complex. In addition, pronunciation and accent are other key factors in language acquisition because it impacts the tone and delivery of the message.

Physical

Motor skills are physical that connect with cognition to learn language. It acts as an aid on how one approaches learning and regaining new information. The physical things a language learner may see will also influence how they learn language. For example, seeing ABC cards with pictures for each designated letter. Speech is also important since it involves a specific movement of the mouth to create a specific sound.

Affective

The affective factor in language acquisition focuses on the emotions and feelings of the language learner. How one approaches learning stems from how they feel. A confident learner will thrive while a timid learner will limit themselves.

Sociocultural

There are many sociocultural factors that influence language acquisition. Cultural norms may impact how the language learner approaches their education. Also, discrimination within one’s culture can also play a role on whether they pursue education at all. This contributes to their emotions and motivation in education.

Political

The political aspect of language acquisition can interfere with the language learner feeling welcome or not. The specific language itself may cause one to feel hesitant or pressured.
