THE ACQUISITION-LEARNING

I got a question about what it is the difference between acquire and learn a language.This is my answer.I hope it helps.

The acquired system

·         Subconscious process

·         Requires meaningful interaction   

·         Not form but  communicative act

·         Depends on attitude

The learned system

·         Conscious process

·         Product of formal instruction

·         Knowledge of grammar rules

·         Depends on aptitude

Let´s have fun with phonetics

 This is an activity you can use in class after teaching phonetic symbols.
