An In-depth Investigation of the Role of Sociocultural and Cognitive Factors in Shaping Second Language Acquisition among Students in Multicultural Classroom Context

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the Role of sociocultural and cognitive factors in shaping second language acquisition among students in multicultural classrooms. Understanding the interactions between these components is essential for effective language teaching since language acquisition is a complex process influenced by many factors. The study will explore how these factors interact with each other and how they influence the learning process of students. Using both qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques, the research methodology adopts a mixed-methods approach. The sociocultural aspects influencing language acquisition can be better understood through qualitative methods including surveys with students.Furthermore, language acquisition is greatly influenced by cognitive characteristics, such as cognitive development, learning styles, and memory power. To gather quantitative data, a battery of cognitive assessments is used and then analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The results of this study demonstrate the importance of sociocultural elements in influencing second language learning, including student’s cultural origins, social interactions, and language exposure. Overall, this study contributes to our understanding of how sociocultural and cognitive factors interact to affect student’s acquisition of second languages in multicultural settings. This study intends to assist educators in developing ideal learning settings that encourage successful language acquisition and cultural diversity by providing light on these elements.
