Second language acquisition is used to refer to any language other than the first language, so it refers to the acquisition of any language after the acquisition of the mother tongue. It functions as a recognized means of communication among members who speak some other language as their mother tongue. For example; English as a second language is learnt in the United States and some countries in Africa. There are two types; the learner focuses on communication in naturalistic second language acquisition, In instructed second language acquisition the learner typically focuses on some aspect of the language system. The main goal of SLA research is to characterize learners ‘knowledge of the L2 to describe and explain their competence. Researchers argues that knowledge of the grammar of the L2 as Linguistic Competence. Other researchers , examine how learners acquire Communicative Competence as knowledge of both the L2 grammar and of how this system is put to use in actual communication. In the process of studying and learning a second language, implicit learning is typically defined as learning that takes place without either intentionality or awareness, explicit learning is necessarily a conscious process and is likely to be intentional. These two types of learning clearly involve very different processes and they have the same result of knowledge. SLA research has two different main goals description and explanation, the first one is to reveal how learners are able to develop knowledge in communication. The second goal is to specify the factors that cause variation in individual learners’ accomplishment of this task. The human being are genetically programmed which is the biological maturation. Then, parents and teachers have a little impact on the aspect of cognitive development and nourishment. The children starts acting on the environment and learn from it by social experiences .For example; the kids may discover the weather by experimenting the hot and the cold weather, so they explore, feel, observe then organize information. Then, there is another factor which is the social transmission and learning from others by interacting with people around us. Piaget concluded that all species inherit two invariant function .The first one is organization, combining and arranging of behaviors into coherent system The scheme for Piaget are organized systems of a bunch of actions and thoughts that allow us to think about every things in our world. The second is Adaptation which included two basics . Assimilation is trying to understand something new by referring to what we already learnt .For instance ,children’s to know the wolf by fitting it into the dog which is a previous information. Then, accommodation that occurs when a person must change existing schemes to respond to a new situation. By learning Piaget’s stages of cognitive development. I understand that the first stage from 0 to 2years is making use of imitation and memory, the second stage is from 2 to 7 years is the ability to thing and the use of language the third stage is from 7 to 11 years is to be more concrete and understand reversibility, the fourth stage is 11 years is to be able to think logically, develops concerns about social issues. All these stages are to be regarded as an important facts of the kids development, but Vygotsky has a different view for the egocentric speech when the children has a self-directed talk and explain it as an externalized thought its function is to communicate with the self for the purpose of self guidance. A part from the cognitive development , there is the moral and social development which are very important as well. Because, a very young children do not understand that people have different feelings and experiences, but this perspective taking abilities develops over time until it is quite sophisticated in adults. As Kohlberg’s divided it into three levels . The first one is the preconvention moral reasoning which is based on personal needs and determination and others rules in order to avoid punishments. The second’s called the conventional Moral Reasoning which is based on family’s expectation, traditional values, the laws of society and loyalty to country. The third is called the post conventional moral reasoning is based on the universal ethical principle orientation. As a future teacher must be sensitive to the possibility that students may have different meaning for the same word or different words for the same meaning.
