Abstract

The importance of English proficiency for native Chinese speakers is increasingly recognized, with its applications becoming more diverse. Observations from daily life clearly show that acquiring English as a second language significantly enhances the linguistic cognitive abilities of native Chinese speakers. However, many native Chinese speakers encounter challenges in learning English and often lack motivation. This paper explores how English learning enhances the cognitive linguistic abilities of native Chinese speakers. It examines the necessity, logic, and strategies of learning English, focusing on linguistic phenomena and logic. The study investigates English and learning methods among Chinese speakers, employing detailed tables for clear and visual representation. The paper concludes with practical suggestions for improving English learning among native Chinese speakers.
