differentiate acquisition of language and learning of language
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
acquiring language
acquire language through a subconscious process during which they are unaware of grammatical rules. This happens especially when they acquire their first language. It is like understanding a game by doing, i.e. not by first reading the rules.
They repeat what is said to them and get a feel for what is and what is not correct. In order to acquire a language, they need a source of natural communication, which is usually the mother, the father, or the caregiver.
learning language
Language learning, on the other hand, is the result of direct instruction in the rules of language. Language learning is not an age-appropriate activity for young children as learning presupposes that learners have a conscious knowledge of the new language and can talk about that knowledge.
They usually have a basic knowledge of the grammar and are able to reason in a metalinguistic way, for example, by saying “boom is tree” or “Mama says albero, Papa says Baum”
