INPUT PROCESSING IN ADULTS SLA

Abstract

A lot of internals and externals influence second language acquisition (SLA) and one of them is the language input that plays the main role in receiving new knowledge. Nowadays, the English language is becoming a global language so different age people would like to learn for their work and career. Most adults are often face to face with some difficulties with misinterpretations and the reason is sometimes adults cannot understand the words’ meanings and miss the acquisition of them so I chose this study to improve the adult’s input processing(IP) and show minus sides of learning a language. I found several researchers who worked on the IP, such s VanPatten, Taher Bahrani, Alessandro Benati, and others. For this case study, I chose some adults who are learning English as a second language from the educational center “Trust”. Their English level is elementary and they are about 40 years old. I hope my study will help them as we improve their input processing in learning.
