Children Language Acquisition Assignment

What are the differences between acquisition and learning?

 Acquisition is the act of getting knowledge unconsciously. Children acquire

knowledge from the time they were born in this world.
In deal with children language acquisition, it was proposed that language
acquisition takes place in the infant and the young child at a time when he
is acquiring many other skills and much other knowledge about the world
(Corder, ). Children acquire their mother tongue through interaction
with their parents and the environment that surrounds them. Their need to
communicate paves the way for language acquisition to take place.
(Foppoli, 2007)
 Learning is acquiring or getting knowledge of a subject of a skill by study,
experience, or instruction ( consciously).
Brown proposed some definitions of learning, i.e.:
1. Learning is acquisition or “getting”.
2. Learning is retention of information or skill.
3. Retention implies storage systems, memory, cognitive organization.
4. Learning involves active, conscious focus on and acting upon events
outside or inside the organism.
5. Learning is relatively permanent but subject to forgetting.
6. Learning involves some form of practice, perhaps reinforced practice.
7. Learning is a change in behavior.
In deals with children language acquisition, Corder proposed that
language learning normally takes place after language acquisition is largely
complete.
