If we want to be teachers in the foreign language we have to state clear the difference between:
LEARNING VS. ACQUISITION.
For Krashen:
Stephen Krashen (University of Southern California) is an expert in the field of linguistics, specializing in theories of language acquisition and development. For him:
A Language learning method is a general plan for presenting language materials, based on the selected approach and the specification and interrelation of theory and practice. The method, then, will consist of three levels (approach, design and procedure):
• A language learning approach refers to assumptions, theories about the nature of language learning that serves as the source of practices and principles in language teaching, i.e. a reference point.
• Design is the second level and specifies the relationship of theories of language and learning to both the form and function of instructional materials and activities in instructional settings.
• Procedure: Is the third level, it comprises the classroom techniques and practices that are consequences of particular approaches and designs”.
A language learning “technique” is a particular procedure used to accomplish a particular objective.
• Method: An “umbrella term”. Three levels
Approach: Provides theoretical foundations for what a teacher does in his classroom.
Design: relationship of theories of language and learning to both the form and function of instructional materials and activities in instructional settings
Procedure, the third level: it comprises the classroom techniques and practices that are consequences of particular approaches and designs.

For Krashen:
Stephen Krashen (University of Southern California) is an expert in the field of linguistics, specializing in theories of language acquisition and development. For him:
- Acquisition: Processes and strategies people use to “acquire” their first language.
- Learning: It refers to the conscious and guided knowledge of second or foreign language.
