This paper examines the differences between successful and unsuccessful second language learners based on previous research in linguistic neuroscience field. It could be said that one of the keys to successful second language learning is to reduce trade- off effect, one of the reasons for unsuccessful second language acquisition. In conclusion, in order to utilize working memory capacity effectively and efficiently, second language learners should enhance and increase their vocabulary as a schema, along with balancing between bottom-up and top-down strategies for better comprehension. Moreover, the ideal language processing in the brain should be performed automatically and unconsciously.
