What are the two stages of language acquisition?

Production and mastery
Pre-production and early production
Listening and responding
Reading and writing

The correct answer is: Pre-production and early production

The two stages of language acquisition are identified as pre-production and early production. In the pre-production stage, learners are often silent and may not yet speak the new language, but they are actively listening and absorbing the input. This stage is crucial as it sets the foundation for the next phase. During the early production stage, learners begin to use simple words and phrases, demonstrating their ability to communicate basic ideas or needs. Understanding these stages is essential for educators, as it helps them tailor their instructional strategies to support language development effectively. Recognizing that students may vary widely in their stages of acquisition empowers teachers to create a more inclusive and responsive learning environment.
