Language is defined as a method of communicating ideas and emotions in the form of signs and symbols. Native language or mother tongue is the first language learned by an individual. Second language acquisition (SLA) or second language learning is a process through which people learn a second language apart from their native language. The process of acquiring second language involves understanding, speaking and writing another language fluently. Several factors are taken into consideration when teaching a second language. These factors include the language spoken at home, the willingness of the learner, and the reason to learn a second language. The reasons to learn a second language may include learning as a part of the school curriculum or learning for work. For learning a second language, it is essential to develop listening comprehension, and build a receptive and active vocabulary. This book is a compilation of research works that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends related to second language acquisition. Its extensive content will provide the readers with an in-depth understanding of the subject.
