Language Acquisiton
Children acquire language through a
subconscious process during which they are
unaware of grammatical rules. This is
similar to the way they acquire their first
language.

4. Process
In order to acquire
language, the learner
needs a source of natural
communication.

meaningful interaction in the
target language. A natural
communication is essential.

understanding them and not
