Globalization is an international situation and is more and more widely accepted by people. With increasing globalization of the world economy, bilingualism is more and more widely used today as well. The effects of children learning a second language are hotly contested today. Through reviewing the previous studies, this paper aims to find out the positive and negative impacts on children of second language acquisition at the early stage. On the one hand, the benefits of learning a second language could help promote cognitive for example, memory, attentional ability and creativity. On the other hand, losing one’s native language might happen if a second language is learned too early and native language not normally used. Apart from that, extra academic burden and tuition fees also could hinder the process of second language learning. Overall, this paper illustrates positive and negative impacts of learning a second language early that help their teachers and parent’s bilingualism education of children. However, as of the relent previous studies and articles are limited that most of investigation lose sight of individual difference of interviewees and they are all conducted by earlier time from now, for the further research, it could be conducted by empirical research to update the new findings.

Apart from the advantages, many FL learners still experience anxiety in the classroom due to several reasons, which are communication apprehension, test anxiety and fear of negative evaluation.…”

A language is an important tool for communicating with people around the world, especially for educational purposes. Many foreign language classes are being offered in a lot of institutions nowadays. However, learning and communicating using a new foreign language may cause learners to be anxious in the classroom compared to speaking their first language. Hence, the present study aimed to investigate students' level of foreign language anxiety and determine its relationship with the willingness to communicate in Arabic as a foreign language. 110 students taking Arabic as the third language course at an advanced level, which is the third level, from a public university in Malaysia were chosen to complete two questionnaires, Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety scale and Willingness to Communicate scale. The findings of this study reveal that the level of language anxiety among students was moderate, and there is a negative correlation between foreign language class anxiety among the students and their willingness to communicate, which indicates that students' willingness to communicate decreases when their anxiety level increases. From this study, students' anxiety affects their communication in class. Thus, it is suggested that the instructors encourage students to speak in class and do activities to reduce their anxiety as well as boost their confidence.

“…The need for in-depth research on metacognitive methods for effective learning, especially in the context of learning a second language (L2), has emerged from the study of existing literature on their impact on language learners (e.g., Zhang & Guo, 2020;Raoofi et al, 2014). This involves vocabulary acquisition strategies in which they can be classified into different taxonomies, such as social, memory, cognitive, and metacognitive, or determination and consolidation strategies.…”

Data collection methods included pre and post-tests, an observational checklist, and a focus group interview. The results indicated a significant improvement in the students' vocabulary skills after implementing the lexical approach. Additionally, this approach positively affected students' motivation and changed their negative perceptions about vocabulary. The paper concludes with recommendations and implications for educators and researchers, considering its limitations.
