Abstract
This scientific research compares and contrasts two different scientific advances about influencing factors of language learning. The given advances are about abilities of learning patterns and informal exposures, and both of them were said to have positive influence on language learning. The background information was founded on the internet and finally the result was analyzed based on the organizer sheet and references. Although there are several differences and similarities between them, and I judged that the first advance makes the most significant contribution to human progress. These two advances can be applied to learning a second language or be used in other fields.
1.0 Introduction
Learning a second language has always been concerning people in modern society since it has become a necessary skill to survive in competitions. This research aimed to compare and contrast a pair of scientific advances in all aspects. The two articles addressed different opinions about language learning. In the first article, Picking Up a Second Language Is Predicted by Ability to Learn Patterns, the advance is that the ability to learn patterns is related to language learning. The second article, Language Instruction Improved with Fun and Games addressed that informal exposure helps to learn a second language with ease. The ability of learning patterns can be strongly related to skills of grasping a new sensorimotor (Action vedio games
