5. Which of the following is an accurate restatement of Stephen Krashen's acquisition-learning hypothesis?

Language learning and instruction are conscious and intentional activities, while language acquisition occurs on the subconscious level.
Immersion in a target language and culture leads to acquisition of the target language when accompanied by study and instruction.
Acquisition refers to the deep mastery of language that is characteristic of first-language ability; learning happens through second-language study.
Receptive language activities—listening and reading—lead to acquisition, and speaking and writing skills develop through learning from instruction.

Answer. Enter to expand or collapse. Answer expanded: Correct Response: A. According to Stephen Krashen, language learning occurs by studying the language systematically, e.g., through explicit grammar or vocabulary lessons. Language acquisition happens when a person is immersed in a language, for example, when a child growing up acquires language through meaningful exchanges with his or her caregivers, or when an adult living abroad acquires a new language through meaningful exchanges at work, at stores, with neighbors, etc.
