Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between language input frequency and learning effectiveness in second language acquisition. By reviewing the relevant literature, this paper reviews the basic theoretical framework of second language acquisition and the concept of language input frequency, and analyzes the existing views on the relationship between them. A group of representative second language learners were selected as the research objects by using a mixed method, combining quantitative and qualitative analysis. Quantitative data was collected through questionnaires and standardized tests, while qualitative data was obtained through in-depth interviews. The data analysis results show that there is a significant positive correlation between language input frequency and learning effectiveness, that is, higher language input frequency can significantly improve learners' language learning effectiveness. In particular, frequent language input helps to improve vocabulary, grammar and listening and speaking ability. In addition, the study also found that the individual differences of learners (such as age, learning motivation, etc.) will also have an impact on this relationship. This study provides a theoretical basis for second language teaching practice, and puts forward teaching suggestions based on the research results, in order to further improve the effectiveness of second language learning.
