Second Language Acquisition, as an increasingly independent yet interdisciplinary subject, has received continuous attention from language practitioners all over the world. Researches have been conducted from expanding perspectives as we move towards a deeper understanding of how additional languages are acquired.
With the progress of theoretical and empirical development in SLA research, the advent of modern technology, especially the AI and digital games, not only offers new research possibilities, perspectives and methods, but also presents challenges to current theories of second、foreign language acquisition in the ever-changing global context.
