CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -For example, if an English-speaking person tries to learn Spanish by taking Spanish classes in a local community college in their town, they are learning Spanish. If this person, instead, moves to Mexico, where Spanish is the language of daily life, then they are acquiring the Spanish language.

Detailed explanation-2: -Language learning (LL) is the process of actively trying to learn and understand a language. LL happens more consciously and is more likely the result of formal teaching. Perhaps, like how a second language is learned. On the other hand, language acquisition is the process of gaining language knowledge naturally.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to Krashen acquisition is more important than learning. Acquisition of language is a subconscious process and the learner is unaware of the process taking place. Once the new knowledge has been acquired, the learner is actually unaware of possessing such knowledge.

Detailed explanation-4: -Language Learning refers to learning about a language, its sound system, its structure. It is largely an intellectual exercise. Language acquisition means somehow absorbing a target language’s sound system and structure, ideally without ever thinking explicitly about the language’s actual structure.
