Language learning Hits: 179

In contrast to language acquisition, language learning is not communicative.  This type of learning results from direct instruction about the rules of language.  Learners have conscious knowledge of the new language and can talk about what they know.  

They can memorize the rules of the language and succeed on tests, but may not have strong speaking or writing skills.
