Abstract

This review explores how native language affects second language learners' abilities in processing emotional information, including the cognitive processing of emotional vocabulary, emotional expression and communication, and cross-cultural understanding of emotions. The research found that native language background plays a multi-dimensional role in this process, affecting not only the processing of emotional information within the language but also individuals' cross-cultural communication skills. Furthermore, this paper emphasizes the importance of focusing on emotional vocabulary teaching and the cultivation of emotional expression strategies in second language teaching, as well as directions for further research. By deeply understanding the impact of native language on emotional processing in a second language, practical guidance can be provided for cross-cultural education, promoting effective communication and understanding among people from different cultural backgrounds.
