    Exposure to a language is not enough to learn it; learners must also focus on form. There are three main ways to learn a foreign language: acquisition, interaction, and focus on form. Acquisition involves extensive exposure and interaction helps learners use the language. The best approach combines elements of different methods by providing exposure both inside and outside class, allowing time for gradual learning, and giving opportunities for interaction and focus on form.

    The key takeaways are that there are multiple ways to learn a foreign language including exposure, interaction, and focus on form. Learning is a gradual process that requires time and practice.

    The three main ways to learn a foreign language are acquisition, interaction, and focus on form.

    Acquisition refers to picking up a language through exposure to examples of language use over a period of time without conscious learning.

    By Md. Mosharraf Hossain

    Exposure to a language
    One

    way to learn a language by hearing and reading it all around us and without studying it, that is, picking it up automatically (learning without realising)

    Focus on Form
    To learn a foreign language, exposure to language is not enough. We need to focus our attention on the form of the target language, i.e. how it is pronounced or written, how its grammar is formed and used, the form and meaning of vocabulary. We need to interact and communicate too.

    Key concepts
    There are 3 main ways to learn a foreign language. 1. Acquisition 2. Interaction 3. Focus on form

    Acquisition
    Its the same as picking up a language. Learners need exposure to lots of examples of language use, which is rich in variety, interesting to them and just beyond their level but not too difficult. Acquisition takes place not instantly, but over a period of time. We read and listen to items of language for a long time (a silent period) before using them.

    Interaction
    To

    learn a language we need to use it:

    to

    interact with other people to express ourselves to make our meanings clear to other people to understand other people

    Which approach to use?


    We do not learn a foreign language best through learning grammar and translating (the grammar-translation method) Nor do we learn by constantly practising until we form habits (the behaviourist approach), or just by communicating (the communicative approach)

    Key concepts
    Learners need exposure to language both inside and outside the classroom. Learning a language is a gradual process. Learners need time and they may need a silent period before producing new language.

    More key concepts

    Learners use language in class to interact with classmates or the teacher gives them opportunities to experiment with language and find out how successful their communication is.

    Learners need opportunities to focus on forms of language they have read or listened to. The teacher can help them to notice certain points about language, think about their use and practise them.

    Key concepts (cont.)


    Remember

    that some learners may like to learn and/ or are used to learning in particular ways. Teachers always need to match their teaching to the characteristics and needs of the learner.
