Abstract
Research has shown that physical activities provide a positive effect on cognitive performance, including short-term and long-term memory. however few have focused on its effect on the second language (L2). This paper is a systematic literature review (SLR) paper that aims to identify, assess, and interpret related research papers to gain a better understanding of the positive possible effect of several types of physical activities toward L2 performances. Eight different papers published between the years 2007 to 2019 are analyzed in terms of the physical activities, the research method, and the L2 domain being affected. It suggest that there is a positive association between physical activities and L2 learning. The positive effect are being discussed.
