Hi, friends!

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This module discuss about language 
acquisition and language learning.

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The factors influencing the acquisition 
of a language,

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like the learner factors, environmental 
factors and infrastructural factors

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
are dealt in detail.

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Acquisition and learning.

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Language acquisition is the process by
which humans acquired the capacity to

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
perceive and comprehend language. As well
as to produce and use language.

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Acquisition is implicit and subconscious
which take place in an informal situation.

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
According to Stephen Christian 1985, 
language acquisition does not require

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
extensive use of conscious grammatical 
rules and tedious drill.

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Acquisition requires meaningful 
interaction in the target language,

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
natural communication in which speakers
are connected,

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
not with the form of their entrances but
with the messages they are convenient

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and understanding.

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Language acquisition encompasses the 
development of

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
four interdependent systems.

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Pragmatic: communicative use of language
in a social context;

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Phonological: perception and production of
sounds to form words;

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Semantics: processing of meaning

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and grammatical use of syntactic and
morphological rules to combine words

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
into meaningful sentences.

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The phonological and grammatical systems
constitute the language form.

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The pragmatic system describes

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
how language should be adapted

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to specific social situations

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in order to convey emotions

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and reinforce meaning.

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The term acquisition is used for L1

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and the term learning is associated
with L2.

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Children acquire language through a 
subconscious process

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
during which they are unaware of 
grammatical rules,

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that is no deliberator for to learn the
language.

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They pick up language in informal 
situations.

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Language acquisition is implicit, and
effortless as meaningful communication

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
occurs in natural environment.

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
While communicating the message in the
text is given more important

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
rather than the form.

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
... connected through feedback or
when they hear the correct usages.

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Later on, they can cut it themselves

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
when they become masters of linguistic
generalizations.

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They will be confident in using the 
language in the real life situations.

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Language learning is explicit and
conscious

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and takes place in a formal situation.

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The rules of the language are taught
directly

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and learning is the product of formal
instruction.
