    This document provides information about language acquisition versus language learning. It notes that language acquisition is a subconscious process where learners pick up a language naturally through exposure and communication, without being aware of grammatical rules. Language learning, on the other hand, involves direct instruction in grammatical rules and requires learners to have prior knowledge of grammar in their first language. The document asks readers to label statements as describing language acquisition or learning and provides true/false questions about language learning for readers to consider. It also includes a blank chart for readers to label components of different language teaching approaches. Finally, it prompts readers to create their own short story using provided sentence starters.

    • subconscious process • direct instruction in the rules


    • unaware of grammatical rules • they usually have a basic knowledge of grammar (in their L1)
    • happens naturally • presupposes learners have a conscious knowledge of the new language and
    • they repeat what is said and get a feel for right and wrong can talk about that knowledge (metacognition)
    • child needs a source of natural communication

    T / F The more time students spend soaking up English in the mainstream classroom, the faster they will learn the language.

    T/F The emotional state of the learner interferes with the acquisition of a new language.

    T/F Children learn a second language faster and more easily than teenagers and adults do.
