Detailed explanation-1: -A first language is the mother tongue or native language of a person while a second language is a language a person learns in order to communicate with the native speaker of that language. The first language is like an instinct which is triggered by birth and developed with the experience of being exposed to it.
Detailed explanation-2: -Together, L1 and L2 are the major language categories by acquisition. In the large majority of situations, L1 will refer to native languages, while L2 will refer to non-native or target languages, regardless of the numbers of each.
Detailed explanation-3: -IGCSE states that English as a First Language (EFL) is designed for those students for whom English is their native tongue. English as a Second Language (ESL) is for those whose native language or mother tongue is not English but who want to improve their communication abilities in this language.
Detailed explanation-4: -In first language acquisition, children spend several years listening to language, babbling, and using telegraphic speech before they can form sentences. In second language acquisition in older learners, learning is more rapid and people are able to form sentences within a shorter period of time.
