Second Language Acquisition

Abstract

The article states about the process of mastering a second language, i.e. about the process of formation and development of bilingualism. The idea is emphasized that the knowledge of a new language is carried out through the native language and therefore the conceptual picture of the studied language "grows" from the conceptual picture of the native language. The material of this article reflects the professional orientation in teaching a second language. Also, the authors of the article suggest that the bilingual development of the subject occurs when he begins to consciously compare the studied language with his native language in order to build his statements based on the nature of another language, and not by analogy with his native language. Also, the result of learning a second language is the formation in the mind of the student of a bilingual structure that accommodates two language systems, one of which is later and therefore it is “embedded” in the already formed earlier system of the native language. The author of the article tried to consider in detail the process of formation and development of bilingualism, noting its several components of the formation process. In the conditions of the modern world, when there is a policy of globalization, the study of languages becomes an urgent need. Some most of high schools in Uzbekistan have switched to bilingual and trilingual education, when the specialty is taught in a non-native language. This article does not claim to be universal, but will help teachers understand the process of bilingualism formation and help develop their own language teaching methodology.
