Bilingualism in Early Childhood #615

Although learning a second language at preschool age benefits learners to achieve native-like competence and children are enrolled to English courses at a young age, learners’ cultural, social and language background should not be overlooked. The factors play a significant role in influencing L2 learners’ competency. This study examined the effect of phonological and syntactic differences of a child’s L1 (Chinese Language) towards the L2 (English Language) learning.
