Acquisition and Learning • Acquisition(immersion in, and constant interaction with that language)is the best and most natural way to learn. • Learning(the direct teaching of a language) is usually at the more meta-cognitive level. • Double impact (teach the formal register to) students who do not know the formal register of their primary language.
