- Abstract
This study examined the ways in which learning a foreign language could impede the process of acquiring English. This study aims to investigate the pronunciation problems faced by ESL students. Language is important for communication, and this study focuses on the difficulties with English grammar. Investigations are also conducted into the effects of "other-language interference" on language acquisition. Anyone looking to improve their English proficiency or educators hoping to assist their students in overcoming language barriers can find useful information in the research findings. To fully investigate the problem, researchers used in-depth interviews and online survey instruments like Google Forms for this investigation i.e. Using SPSS, quantitative data on how non-English languages affect undergraduate students' English language development was gathered. This study demonstrates that bilingualism can have both beneficial and detrimental effects on learning a second language. The techniques used were explained in detail, and theoretical and ethical issues were covered. To improve teaching strategies, more research is required to determine how second-language interference affects English language acquisition. The research's conclusions led to the recommendation that teachers consider their students' first languages when developing lesson plans. Additionally, it is important to encourage students to use English in all situations so they can become more proficient in the language.
