Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Motivation, attitude, age, intelligence, aptitude, cognitive style, and personality are considered as factors that greatly influence someone in the process of his or her second language acquisition.
Detailed explanation-3: -A second language is any language that a person uses other than a first or native language. Contemporary linguists and educators commonly use the term L1 to refer to a first or native language, and the term L2 to refer to a second language or a foreign language that’s being studied.
Detailed explanation-4: -A second language (L2) is a language spoken in addition to one’s first language (L1). A second language may be a neighbouring language, another language of the speaker’s home country, or a foreign language.
