Learning a Second Language Subconsciously

Abstract

Second language learning is taught in the majority of schools across the globe in order to communicate and collaborate with one another. This study looks into one specific type: unconscious learning. In the data collection stage, participants in China, who have learned English in many different ways, were surveyed. The participants all looked at the same graphics put in front of them and then told the story they saw in their own words, in English. These results were then taken and rated on 2 factors: comprehensibility and accentedness. The results are then going to be analyzed and compared. The goal is to discover the influence that unconscious second language acquisition has on the language learning process and how these results differ from those in a traditional learning environment.

Keywords: language learning conscious
