First of all an instinct is a biologically constrained process with a specific timetable ending at puberty and that is characterized by its uniformity in spite of considerable environment variation, as in the ways parents talk to children. Second, the instinct of language is a proficiency that exists inherently, innately inside of each one of us, as walking or breathing in spite of the existence sometimes of certain deficits like an handicap. Finally, Pinker stresses on the fact that language as other instincts is not taught to children “a preschooler tacit knowledge of grammar is more sophisticated than the thickest style manual” and this doesn’t need any triggering events. As long as a child is exposed to a threshold amount of linguistic during the critic

Besides certain psychological and social factors contribute play important role in second language acquisition.

Moreover, there is a certain relation between the innate language and the target language: for example Romanian or Spanish native speakers have less difficulty in learning English than Persian or Chinese native speakers because a similar system exists in their native language. Another factor that is not neglectable in the two scenarios we have analyzed is that Arash is a refugee and that a refugee usually suffer from a elevated level of stress: he has lost his home, sometimes members of his family and his status. Stress is one important factor that usually inhibit and hinders the process of learning.

al period, he will uniformly acquire language. Yet, all of that we have discussed above applies to first language acquisition; then, what about second language acquisition? To answer this question we will try to analyze as accurately as possible the case of two immigrants Arash and Mircea that have arrived to the states.

Arash is 23 years old, Iranian refugee who was not exposed to the English language in a consistent way, he has learnt a little bit at school but has forgotten it and he’s restarting from scratch at the age of 23. Therefore, English language in the case of Arash has neither developed in a uniform manner nor has developed during the critical period. Moreover, it seems from
