The Influence of the English Language on Learning Albanian Language among Macedonian Students

Abstract

Acquisition of a foreign language is a process in which people learn a foreign language in addition to their native language. A foreign language is a term used to describe the acquisition of any language after the native language is acquired . Over the past three decades, the number of different theories for foreign language acquisition has increased in order to make explanations available on how language learning takes place, to correctly identify the variables responsible for foreign language acquisition, and to provide assistance for foreign language teachers. Theories of foreign language acquisition have been developed in conjunction with theories of native language acquisition. Linguistic studies were focused on foreign language acquisition, trying to learn how can be it acquired, describing the different levels of development, and carefully considering whether the acquisition of a foreign language follows the same way as the acquisition of the native languаge.
