LANGUAGE LEARNING & TEACHING IN-CLASS

According to many authors, there are several theories of how people acquire knowledge because it is developed by all learners, but not in the same way, for that reason it is important to consider that in the process of learning acquisition, there are three aspects we must recognize and understand; Language (communication), Learning (input) and Teaching (output).

In interpreting the different aspects in this process, we can specify what Second Language Acquisition and Second Language Teaching are.  In contrast, SLA is described as a process by which people learn a second language; it refers to any language learned in addition to L1 (mother tongue). Moreover, Second Language Acquisition is not a set of easy steps that can be programmed; it differs depending on the circumstances of learners whereas Second Language Teaching involves research and improvement of education and training. It is a process of facilitation of learning, which main goal is to teach a foreign language successfully. 

On the other hand, both are different, but they are closely related to education, in consequence, during the process there is an on-going interaction and communication between teacher and learner because they require stimulus, response, and feedback; it means both of them require thinking.

As a conclusion, becoming bilingual is a way of life; as a learner, is your challenge to transform your first language into a new language and be part of a new culture, a new way of thinking, feeling, and acting. And as a teacher, we are responsible for causing to know or understand in the people.
