Detailed explanation-1: -Geisler believes that total immersion is key to mastering a foreign language quickly. The more you immerse yourself in the foreign language-such as reading, listening to the radio or speaking to people-the more rapid your progress will be.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fluency and literacy in the native language can lead to a transfer of skills to the second language. Therefore, the more literate a student is in his/her first language, the easier it is for the student to transfer skills from the first language to the second language with the appropriate support and instruction.
Detailed explanation-3: -Second language acquisition refers to the learning of another language or languages besides the native language. For children learning their native language, linguistic competence develops in stages, from babbling to one word to two word, then telegraphic speech.
Detailed explanation-4: -Together, the work on the relationship between L1 and L2 vocabulary and reading skills strongly indicates that native-language abilities can influence second-language vocabulary and reading performance.
