SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION AND SECOND LANGUAGE LEARNING

According to what I have read, Second Language Acquisition is the process by which people learn a second language in addition to a person's first language. Whereas, the Second Language  Teaching refers to the development of procedures for the teaching of the target language.  Both approaches  are related each other, since they are involved in the process of learning another language for different purposes.

Futhermore, the Second Language Acquisition differs from the Second Language Teaching in the sense that the first, is a subconscious process which leads to fluency; on the other hand, the Second Language of Teaching is a conscious process which shows itself  in terms of teaching rules and structures for the acquisition of the target language.

From my point of view, as the Second Language Acquisiton as the Second Language Teaching  might not affect each other, even if they show some differences betweem them ; on the contrary, I consider that they are closely related because the learner and the teacher play an active role in the process of learning a second language.
