ABSTRACT

"The critical period hypothesis" is important for the development of bilingualism in children, and it also provides insight and help for university students learning a second language. The definition and duration of the "critical period" and the mechanism of its operation are significant ways to enrich the theoretical basis of second language acquisition and to provide more practical guidance on second language acquisition.
