Second Language Acquisition vs. Second Language Teaching

Teaching and acquisition are two important features of language which are very useful to produce new knowledge. According to some professional opinions, it is a fact that teaching requires a great deal of technical specialized knowledge, and on the other hand, acquisition requires that students learn the patterns of language for example :phonology,morphology,syntax etc. The purpose of this analysis is to examine the difference between acquisition and teaching in their different facets.

First, Innatist is considered a facet of acquisition which concerns solely with the understanding competence rather than performance. It is diffent to ,an interesting facet of teaching, Language awareness because it refers to explicit knowledge about language, and the interactionist perspective, it is also analyst and exploratory .

Second, the autonomy teaching procedure promotes to autonomous learners to be responsible for and in control of their own learning in the class. On the other hand, the sociocultural theory in the acquisition context consist in the interaction as a site for the learners to obtain samples of the target language which can be processed internally and social interaction.

Finally ,the interaction hypothesis force speakers to pause from their conversation in order to reach an understanding of the meaning of a particular utterance, giving expression chances. In the similar way,The opportunity teaching phase tends to be more tolerate and flexible to the students.

In conclusion, Acquisition and Teaching are two different perspectives but the objectives are the same to ,transmit and receive knowledge efficiently. The analysis demonstrates that some perspective are different from each other because their technique have extend variation. On the other hand, there are also some similarities which can link the two scenarios (acquisition and teaching ).The analysis of this two language features determines that they are quite different but in the learning context they both have the same expectations.
