Language acquisition is the process by wich humans acquire the capacity to percive and comprehend language, as well as to produce and use words to communicate.The capacity to successfully use language requires one to acquire a range of tools including syntax, phonetics, and an extensive vocabulary.
Achieving Success in Second Language Acquisition is a book that will help you understand better the complexity of acquiring a new language. This book has been published under the seal of Cambridge Publishing House.
There is an important distinction made by linguistics between language acquisition and language learning. 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. They get a feel for what is and what isn’t correct. In order to acquire language, the learner needs a source of natural communication. The emphasis is on the text of the communication and not on the form. Young students who are in the process of acquiring English get plenty of “on the job” practice. They readily acquire the language to communicate with classmates.
