Language learning is not an interactive and communicative process but it is the result of direct instruction in grammar. It is certainly not an appropriate activity for the age of learners. In other words, students have a conscious knowledge of the new language and have the ability to express that knowledge. Students have to complete spaces in an exercise or grammar activity. Recent research and linguistic studies have shown that knowledge of grammatical rules and structures (simple present tense, simple past, simple future, etc.) does not necessarily lead to conversation and writing. It exceeds that of English language tests but can not be able to speak and write properly. The child's ability to acquire language is something that is biologically related to age and is the ideal window for acquiring language in a language-rich environment and where the critical age (11-13) is difficult to acquire. Some of the other hypotheses have called for social involvement if the individual exceeds the critical age according to the previous hypothesis. This is by traveling to foreign countries for tourism, work or study. The second language gradually begins with the community and here we call it language learning.

I remember that a few decades ago a distinction used to be made between language acquisition, which referred to first language acquisition, and language learning, which referred to second language acquisition. Little by little, this distinction was abandoned in favor of acquisition for both first and second language. Learning nowadays is used with both, and seems to even supersede teaching.

Thank you very much, professor Maalej for your nice answer. Best regards.

Language acquisition happens unconsciously while learning a language is intentional and systematically rule governed

I agree with you, Marwa.

hi. according to Krashen , language learning is the conscious, formal TEACHING of language resulting in language learning . it is explicit and intentional learning in which monitoring is active not leading to language acquisition while language acquisition is subconscious, natural phenomenon of language acquisition by exposure to comprehensible input leading to language acquisition and delayed production. best

Thank you very6much, dear Farangis Shahidzade for your excellent answer. Best regards. Hazim.

Children acquire language. Acquisition is a unconscious process during which children are unaware of grammatical rules. However, Language Learning is conscious process during which the learners are aware of the grammatical rules.

Thank you very much, Dr. Abdullah Noori for sharing this excellent information. Best regards. Hazim.

It looks a little bit dicey since both are interrelated and relative. Acquiring your native language from parents, you ought to learn. So to me, I see that there is a direct relationship between language acquisition and language learning.

Language acquisition allows to be comfortable and communicate well in a family environment, whereas language learning goes along with social and intellectual growth, and eventually allows to be comfortable to communicate in a society and be ready for a professional language learning.

Acuisition language: A scientific process through which the individual has the ability to receive and absorb the mother tongue first in children, or acquisition of the second language and dealing with it.

Language instruction is the way in which we study language as a subject. Usually we rely on a system of teaching and explaining grammar as well as other subjects, where the teacher explains, understands and memorizes and then takes written exams, that is, we are logically able to understand them.

Look to Stephen Krashen

Acquisition happens without you are consciously aware of it. It's as Krashen underlines, it's a subconscious process. Learning is conscious process. Example:

Ali is a second language learner. If Ali is included and plays with mainstream language speakers, he'll acquire the second language as a good bi-product. The main product/outcome is playing and having fun. The bi-product is second language acquisition (sub-conscious). BUT, if we say to ALI: -Ali you have to learn your second language, go and play with those who speak that language, this 'command' will take from ALI acquisition opportunities, and make his second language development more difficult, because ALI may start to think that he is playing not to have fun but to learn second language (conscious). Here is a risk that we make second language development as cognitive process instead og social process. Not all children can develop he/his second language whan we deprive them from acquiring it naturally and sub-consciously.

Formality and informality come in. Language acquisition is solely informal while language learning is highly formal. One will acquire language through acquaintances and association as our language faculty is innate. A case which is so common in the case of L1. But one has to exert effort in order to learn a second, third or more languages, such is the case in L2 learning.

Some people use the term of language acquisition for all the phases that lead to language fluency, including learning to read and write. ... Children acquire language through a subconscious process during which they are unaware of grammatical rules.
