영어교육과 제2외국어습득의 이론적 배경 및 통합적 연구

Theoretical background and integrated research on English education and second language acquisition

The difference in language acquisition is that children pay more attention to the meaning, function, and purpose of language than the form of language when acquiring language, while adults focus on conscious acquisition or analytical and deductive acquisition. In other words, the purpose of language acquisition for children is not to learn language to pronounce correctly, memorize and write words correctly, and use grammar knowledge accurately, but to learn language to convey their own meanings, such as what they want to eat, wear, or have. On the other hand, adults can be said to focus on forms that focus on the accuracy of language in order to achieve goals such as tests and promotions.
