Question

learning and acquisition​

Answer 1

Answer:

Learning a language is a conscious process, much like what we experiences in school. Acquisition requires meaningful interaction in the target language – natural communication – in which speakers are concerned not with the form of their utterances but with the massages they are conveying and understanding.

Acquisition refers to the first stages of learning when a response is established. In classical conditioning, it refers to the period when the stimulus comes to evoke the conditioned response.

According to Krashen, students who are taught in a formal, form-focussed way will “learn” the language but never fully acquire it. Krashen argues this is the only use of learnt language and further goes on to say that learnt knowledge can never become acquired knowledge.
