Language education refers to the process and practice of acquiring a second or foreign language.

It primarily is a branch of applied linguistics, however can be considered an interdisciplinary field.

There are four main learning categories for language education: communicative competencies, proficiencies, cross-cultural experiences, and multiple literacies.

Educational technology is defined by the Association for Educational Communications and Technology as "the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources".

Language acquisition is the process by which humans acquire the capacity to perceive and comprehend language, as well as to produce and use words and sentences to communicate.

Language acquisition is one of the quintessential human traits, because non-humans do not communicate by using language.

Language acquisition usually refers to first-language acquisition, which studies infants' acquisition of their native language.

This is distinguished from second-language acquisition, which deals with the acquisition (in both children and adults) of additional languages.

Language is the ability to acquire and use complex systems of communication, particularly the human ability to do so, and a language is any specific example of such a system.

The scientific study of language is called linguistics.

Questions concerning the philosophy of language, such as whether words can represent experience, have been debated since Gorgias and Plato in Ancient Greece.

Thinkers such as Rousseau have argued that language originated from emotions while others like Kant have held that it originated from rational and logical thought.

20th-century philosophers such as Wittgenstein argued that philosophy is really the study of language.

Major figures in linguistics include Ferdinand de Saussure and Noam Chomsky.

Polyglotism or polyglottism is the ability to master, or the state of having mastered, multiple languages.

The word is a synonym of multilingualism, but in recent usage polyglot is sometimes used to refer to a person who learns multiple languages as an avocation.

The term hyperpolyglot was coined in 2008 by linguist Richard Hudson to describe individuals who speak, to some degree, dozens of languages.
