Abstract

The first language (L1) plays a significant role in people’s second language (L2) acquisition. The impact of L1 in L2 acquisition differs in various aspects, not only in different types of languages but also in different components of language such as phonology, morphology, and syntax. Over the past few decades, many researchers have investigated the influence of their mother language, as well as making comparisons of two languages in acquisition of, for example, English. Some have also researched in the specific impact of L1, such as causing errors in L2 acquisition. This paper is aimed to look at some general ideas on how the first language affects second language acquisition, as well as experiments, were made to investigate the role played by different specific mother languages through different linguistic aspects and especially look deeper into the child stage of second language acquisition.
