Currently, biological and cognitive theories present an explanation for correlation between learning of a foreign language according to age levels of the learners, and differences in foreign language achievement. This study then reports a pilot project examining how aging and age related factors affect foreign language acquisition. In the cross-sectional pilot design, a sample of 30 nurses was used, and two-way ANOVA analysis was performed to investigate variables associated with language competence among learners across diverse age groups. Finally, the implications of study suggest a desirable future direction for teaching career-specific English, and a need fot diversity in age among employees at woek place where English-speaking employees are needed.
