Acquiring and learning are two completely different terms but, more
than that, they are processes that use distinct cognitive levels.
Language acquisition happens naturally it is act or process of
gaining a skill, habit, or quality while learning is to gain
knowledge or understanding of or skill in by study, instruction,
or experience. If the acquisition of a language is the gaining of a skill,
learning means understanding it. The definition itself lets us know that
we need so much more than just the reception of information; it has to
be directed, reviewed and practiced until we reach a level of
understanding. 
3. Students enhance their language learning by using what they know in new and more complex
contexts and with increasing sophistication. By learning and incorporating new language structures and
using them in a variety of contexts, students develop language fluency and proficiency. Positive learning
experiences in language-rich environments enable students to leave school with a desire to continue to
extend their knowledge, skills and strategies, and interests.

4. Students who have strong first language skills are able to acquire the second language more easily
due to language transfer. It brings about the reflection and learning of successful social
patterns of acting and speaking and it supports the learning of other languages.
Learning other languages has become a vital aspect for becoming a successful professional. In fact, a
bilingual person can have more opportunities to obtain a better job and to have more achievements
than a monolingual person. the more students are exposed to a new language, the easier they learn the
target language due to brain development.

5. language in the educational set up is of vital importance in putting across developmental thoughts,
information and data. A common language not only helps develop one’s linguistic skills but also expands
our cognitive abilities as an individual. But, education is the most empowering force in the world. It
creates knowledge, builds our confidence and breaks down barriers to opportunity. For children, it is
their key to open the door to a better life.

1. Let me explain more generic way. To communicate, we need a

common platform/medium/language which can be understandable
 by both sides. The communication may be between humans, or
animals or between human and animal, or may be between human
and machines. That common medium/platform is generally we are
calling language. Language is just a se t of rules called Grammar,
which should be followed by both sides. Generally the language
which used by humans are called Natural languages like English,
Telugu, Hindi etc.. Natural languages has unique property called
'Context sensitivity',which means depending on the context meaning
changes. Please see below examples for the same word 'like'

When human interacts with machines, there also need a language which
can be understandable by human and machines. Machine only understands
0's and 1's. But it is very difficult to understand the 0's and 1's by humans ,
there comes a common language called Programming language.

Programming languages are also called context free languages, that means
for one word, there should be only one meaning, unlike natural languages
which has different meaning for the same word depending on the context.
So to interact with machine we need a programming language called
Assembly language which contains a set of limited rules called instructions.

Computers can understand any subject, when there is a logic and a

concrete rule.

If the rule and the logic is scalable, it is even more easier for computers.

That's why computers are good at maths.

They can calculate 1, 2, 3… to billions without complaining.

But English???

There is no logic in its grammar.

Though there are grammar rules, the rules doesn't apply at all places in the
same way. Also, rules do have exceptions in certain situations.
Also, such situations change with time and so does the rule hanging with
the changing situations.

Moreover new words peek into the English language everywhere and the
meanings of words change with time. So does the grammar.

For example, the word “google” now means “to search”. That's why it is not
scalable. You need someone to input computers that google means “to
search”.

If computers are effectively learning English, then it means someone is

updating all changes regularly(which is a tedious task)

Or someone who is proficient in English is answering user's queries at the

back of a computer.

Irregularities exist in any language and that is the the beauty of the
language. Because irregularity helps humans to be better than computers in
learning a language. At least.

computers have amazed us with their ability to conduct simple

calculations at astonishing speeds. With each passing
decade, the computer's ability to process these calculations
has advanced to the point where today, we are tasking it with
our most pressing, complex problems: mapping global climate
change, particle physics, materials science and more at the
atomic level and beyond. Things that would take hundreds of
humans hundreds of lifetimes to calculate on their own.

All of these phenomena operate under a strict series of laws,

of course. Our ability to understand them is only as sufficient
as our ability to assemble a large enough data set to
represent them. And aside from the occasional once-in-a-
lifetime discovery that redefines those rules -- such as when
scientists discovered bacteria last year that survived on
arsenic, an element not among the six known to constitute life
-- the rules remain constant.

But language, that's a different story. Language is, essentially,

a complex system of communication -- but it's developed by
humans, not the natural world, and certainly not by a
computer operating in a binary existence. It is, then, inherently
imperfect; it develops in different ways at different rates and it
does not subscribe to a firm set of rules. In the world of
computers and Mother Nature, slang like "You be illin'" is an
anomaly of epic proportions. Multiple words for a single
meaning collide with multiple meanings for a single word.
Speaking it aloud complicates understanding even further.
And worst of all, the rules (and accents) for the more than
3,000 languages spoken worldwide are in a constant state of
change.
