From storyasking

language acquistion is Stephen Krashen's way of describing how we learn languages.. "language acquistion" is a natural process which can be distinguished for "language learning"..

to further clarify this distiction, we might try saying "language study uses the traditional approach of studying grammar, learning to rules, etc.. then we can use language learning to mean the same thing as language acquisition..

table study v acquistion

language study is good for correct writing, editing etc.. language acquisition is good for understanding spoken language and communication..

storyasking or TPRS focuses on first developing strong communication skills, then acquiring increasingly correct grammar in a natural process..

a key ingredient needed by learners to "acquire" language is comprehensible input
