Abstract : In this research, concepts, and the process of empathy, as well as the connection between empathy and language competency, are discussed, with a particular emphasis placed on the notion of cognitive empathy. In addition to this, it investigates the possibility that developing one's language skills to a highly skilled level could increase one's empathy levels. To determine whether there is a correlation between empathy and other factors such as gender, studying abroad, educational background, and usage of a second language, the researcher compared the levels of empathy exhibited by second-language learners who had high and low levels of proficiency in the target language. The researcher observed that the amount of empathy was related to the level of linguistic skill; nonetheless, there was a link between empathy. For additional research, the researcher recommends continuing studies in executive function in ESL non-natives, particularly ESL bilinguals (including highly proficient second language learners), and investigating how executive function in ESL learners influences behaviour and empathy development. I also suggest looking into how executive function in children influences behaviour and empathy development. For conducting this research, a Quantitative approach was used. A questionnaire was distributed among the participants to collect the data.
