Abstract

English Language
Second Language Acquisition, Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis, Interlanguage, Monitor Model, Sociocultural Theory.
Second Language Acquisition (SLA) is an interdisciplinary field that explores how individuals acquire and process languages beyond their native tongue. This paper provides a comprehensive comparative review of six influential SLA theories: The Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis (CAH), Error Analysis (EA), Interlanguage, the Monitor Model, Universal Grammar (UG), and Sociocultural Theory (SCT). Each theory is examined for its key concepts, contributions, strengths, and limitations in explaining variability in language learners’ outcomes. The paper discusses how these theories differ in their emphasis on linguistic structures, cognitive processes, and social interactions, highlighting the unique insights they offer into the SLA process. For example, CAH and EA focus on linguistic transfer and error patterns, while the Monitor Model emphasizes cognitive strategies and individual learner differences. UG provides a biological perspective on language acquisition, and SCT underscores the role of social interaction and cultural context in language learning. Despite the valuable contributions of each theory, none offers a complete explanation of the complexities inherent in SLA. The review suggests that integrating multiple theoretical frameworks may provide a more holistic understanding of language learning, addressing its cognitive, social, and linguistic dimensions. The paper concludes by advocating for interdisciplinary research that combines insights from linguistics, psychology, and sociology to bridge existing theoretical gaps and inform more effective language teaching practices. Such integration can lead to better educational outcomes and a deeper understanding of the factors that shape second language acquisition.
