Abstract

Starting from the critical period hypothesis, this paper attempts to explore its role in second language acquisition, and will find and look for any enlightenment and help in this process that can be applied to Chinese native second language learners. As a physiological concept, the critical period hypothesis is still controversial as to whether it can be fully applied to second language acquisition, but this article will explore its applicability in the Chinese second language teaching system. China’s second language teaching system is very special, and the teaching modes and methods derived from this system are also very different from the usual second language acquisition process. In the end, the following points can be drawn: 1. The connection between second language acquisition and the critical period hypothesis has not been formally proven; 2. There are more factors that can affect second language acquisition beyond age; 3. Language acquisition does decline with age; 4. The second language environment in China is not sufficient to support the existing second language acquisition theories and methods; 5. Changing the classroom teaching mode and inputting children’s second language at an early stage will be a good choice.
