Document Summary

Acquired system is used to produce language, focus is on meaning. Learning is conscious knowledge of l2, knowing or being aware of rules. Learned system is used to check correctness. Elements of language are acquired in a predictable order. Same regardless of native lang. or age. Only the acquired system is responsible for initiating speech. The learned system monitors the output of the acquired system. Learners need time to think about/use rules. Focus on form - learners need to pay attention to how something is said, not just what is said. Learner can only apply rule if the rule is known. Comprehensible input is how a learner progresses. Language slightly ahead of what a learner knows - i+1. Emotional barrier - can block l2 acquisition. Input is the language addressed to an l2 learner by a native speaker or another l2 learner (input = result of interactions)
