Why some people can be more like native speakers while others are not?

There are too many factors that affect our learning process or acquisition
What is the purpose of teaching foreign language ?
We teach to provide a marketable skill
Language teaching provides our students with a measurable skill that can increase
their qualifications for jobs by gaining a high level of proficiency in reading, writing,
listening and speaking, with the appropriate cultural information (including history,
literature, politics and popular entertainment), they will succeed beyond the
classroom!
We teach to share a culture
We can share our love of that culture through language teaching.Without this cultural
knowledge, our students might understand the words that someone says, but they
might not always understand the ideas behind them All of this encourages our
students to explore more of the culture on their own through real-world media, which
will help to develop listening comprehension skills. It will also teach important
phrases that have come into common parlance.
We teach to increase global understanding
Globalization. Internationalization. Intercultural communication.
We teach to help our students learn about the self by learning about the other
Language learning is a key to the development of identity and growth, whatever
language it is you’re learning: first, second or beyond.Language teaching, therefore, is
a key component of helping our students further grow and develop their identity.But
there is another level as well. In learning a first language, we learned about the culture
in which we grew up. In studying a second language, we learn about another culture
in comparison with our own.This is an additional level of instruction that we provide
our students: We teach them to learn about themselves through the eyes of another
culture. We give our students the tools through which to question their own values,
their prejudices, their approaches to people different from themselves and their way of
doing things.
We teach to help our students communicate in a foreign country
Teaching a foreign language simply lets our students communicate in that target
language while abroad. Aside from just being able to conduct simple transactions,
though, knowing how to communicate in that language can open unexpected doors for
you while there.Teaching how to make small talk and engage in simple
conversation opens all sorts of doors for our students in another country, and they will
be actively using what they learned with us!
We teach to provide a tool to learn about other topics
Teaching a foreign language allows our students to communicate beyond traditional
borders, expanding their horizons, whether it be with another community in their own
country or outside of their country. It opens up new frontiers and enables our students
to explore them in a time and way of their own choosing.Ultimately, we teach to
touch our students’ lives, to teach them what we know, to help them make their way
in the world and in so doing to make the world—we hope—a better place.By teaching
our students a foreign language, we help prepare them to work and live on a global
level.By teaching them a foreign language, we make them true citizens of the world.
