This paper discusses the role of age in Second Language Acquisition and presents 
the different results of relevant researches on this topic. It also compares the results and conclusions 
of  researches  conducted  by  20  scholars,  linguistics  and  researchers. Furthermore,  it  explains why 
and when  this  issue  began  to  draw  attention  of  linguistics  along with  interpretating  the Critical 
Period Hypothesis by Lenneberg ( 1967). It further aims to examine whether young L2 learners are 
better  than  adult  L2  learners.  Taking  all  research  together,  it  concludes  that  even  though  adult 
second language learners may achieve particular succes in SLA especially in terms of grammar, the 
early age in SLA is supported considering the fact that young learners will eventually surpass adult 
second language learners in final stage of acquisition.

Эта  статья  обсуждает  роль  возраста  в  освоении  второго  языка  и 
представляет различные результаты  соответствующих исследований по  этой теме. Она 
также  сравнивает  результаты  и  выводы  исследования,  проведенные  20  учеными, 
лингвистами  и  исследователями.  Эта  статья  объясняет,  почему  и  когда  эта  проблема 
начала  привлекать  внимание  лингвистики  наряду  с  интерпретацией  гипотезы 
критического  периода  Леннеберга  (1967).  Кроме  того,  с  целью  изучения  того,  лучше  ли 
молодые  ученики  изучающие  второй  язык,  чем  взрослые  ученики. Собрав  все  исследования 
вместе, можно сделать вывод, что, хотя взрослые, изучающие второй язык, могут достичь 
определенных  успехов  в  усвоении  второго  языка,  особенно  в  плане  грамматики.  Ранний 
возраст  в  этой  сфере  более  подходящий,  учитывая  тот  факт,  что  молодые  ученики  в 
конечном итоге превзойдут взрослых в заключительной стадии.

Bu maqola yosh omilining  ikkinchi til o'rganishdagi rolini o’rganib, mazkur 
mavzu bo’yicha o'tkazilgan  tadqiqotlar natijasini  taqdim qiladi. Shuningdek maqolada 20  ta olim, 
tadqiqotchi  va  tilshunoslar  tomonidan  o'tkazilgan  tadqiqotlar  natijalari  va  xulosalari  solishtiradi. 
Bundan  tashqari,  bu  mavzu  nima  uchun  va  qachondan  boshlab  tilshunoslar  e'tiborini  torta 
boshlaganini  va  Lennebergning  "  Tanqidiy  Davr  Nazariyasi"  mohiyatini  tushuntirib  beradi. 
Shuningdek maqolada  yosh  ikkinchi  til  o'rganuvchilar  yoshi  katta  ikkinchi  til  o'rganuvchilardan 
ko'ra  ko'proq  muvaffaqiyatga  erishishi  yoki  aksinchaligi  tahlil  qilinadi.  Barcha  tadqiqotlarni 
jamlagan holda, yoshi katta ikkinchi til o'rganuvchilari Ikkinchi Til O’rganish(ITO') da ma'lum bir 
muvaffaqiyatlarga, ayniqsa grammatika sohasida, erishsalar-da, ITO' ning oxirgi bosqichida yosh til 
o'rganuvchilar  yoshi  katta  o'rganuvchilarni  ortda  qoldirishi  isbotini  topgan.hisobga  olgan  holda 
kichik yosh ma'qullanadi.
