Under the framework of global economic power dynamics, the United States and China stand out as two dominant economic giants, significantly influencing the progress and development of the world economy. For both nations, higher education plays a crucial role in international development and social prosperity. Therefore, this paper focuses on an objective analysis of higher education in the United States and China through a review of relevant literature. The findings indicate that China's higher education system is relatively equitable, and the achievements of its compulsory education effectively open future pathways for its citizens. However, the system faces immense pressure, with a prevailing emphasis on scores among faculty and students. In contrast, the U.S. higher education system is rich in content and diverse in structure, yet it also grapples with significant issues of inequality because of the distinctive distribution of opportunities and expensive tuition fees

Second language acquisition (SLA) is a key focus for educators and linguists as society becomes increasingly bilingual and multilingual. Mastering one language is no longer enough to meet global demands, prompting research into effective SLA strategies. While much of this research targets adult learners, there is growing recognition of the importance of children’s SLA. Understanding the factors that influence children’s language learning is crucial for developing effective teaching methods with both theoretical and practical relevance. Although studies on children’s SLA are limited, a consensus is emerging that early exposure and immersive environments enhance language acquisition. As economic improvements allow more parents to invest in overseas educational programs, many believe that immersion in a native-speaking environment offers the best language learning outcomes, and starting language learning early is widely accepted as beneficial. In addition to the right age and immersive environment, children's personalities and attitudes affect their learning speed. Extroverted children with positive attitudes tend to acquire language more quickly, while introverted children may progress more slowly. Parents also play a key role in facilitating language learning at home by creating an engaging English-speaking environment through activities like listening to picture book audio or watching English cartoons. For those with resources, sending children abroad before puberty for immersive experiences can provide valuable interaction with native speakers; however, it is recommended to stay for at least six months due to the common "silent period" in language learning
