    Formal instruction plays an important role in second language acquisition. While some research has shown naturalistic learning can also be effective, formal classroom instruction provides a structured environment where learners can build a firm foundation of linguistic knowledge. Formal instruction helps internalize diverse knowledge and allows learners to perform a wider range of language tasks by focusing on form and grammar rules. Recent research also emphasizes the benefits of practice and engaging in the target language while keeping relevant knowledge active. Overall, formal instruction is most effective for second language acquisition when combined with exposure, interaction, and practice in real-world environments.

    Role of Formal Instruction in Second Language Acquisition

    The role of formal instruction in the acquisition of second language has


    been a long controversial issue; studies has shown conflicts and diversity of
    perspectives among conducted researches and lead into different conclusions.
    There are numerous assumptions regarding the significant contribution of
    formal education, some conveyed that formal instruction is more beneficial and
    effective compared to the other way of learning. However, others had opposed
    and believed that naturalistic is way efficient, and some researches says that
    formal instruction would only cater short-term learning.
    Formal instruction primarily occurred on a structured learning
    environment wherein learners receive formal education in a classroom setting
    bounded for knowledge and capability enhancement. On one hand, second
    language learning is concerned with the process and study of how people
    acquire a second language, which is often referred to as L2 or target language.
    Generally, the term second language refers to any language learned in addition
    to the native language. In view of that, how do formal instruction affects second
    language acquisition? And what are the roles of formal instruction in leaning
    second language.
    Through the process of formal education by attending schools and other
    educational institutions are the most effective and efficient way to acquire the
    features, system and components of the second language. People who undergo
    to formal instruction would probably build a firm foundation of understanding
    and enhancement of one’s capabilities.
    Formal instruction contributes directly or indirectly to their
    internalization of these diverse knowledge and in doing helps the classroom
    learner to perform a larger range of language tasks. Upon focusing on linguistic
    form it aids the acquisition or grammatical knowledge, that will raise the
    learner’s consciousness about the nature of target language rules and will help
    every learner to internalize them. Formal instruction is the order in which
    grammatical features are taught will govern the order in which they are learnt.
    Being indulge into formal instruction can result in the acquisition of some new
    linguistic rules as well as the improvement and control of current information.
    Instruction can also have an immediate impact on the learner's capacity to
    accomplish the goal structures in normal communication and interaction.
    Moreover, recent research on second language acquisition in the
    classroom have also begun to emphasize that concentrating on form, mostly
    through teaching, is preferable than implicit learning. According to cognitive
    theory, if we want to achieve fluency in the SLA, we must allow them to engage
    in the practice of using that language, in the sense of conveying something in
    that language, while they keep the relevant declarative knowledge in working
    memory.
    I surmise, that the acquisition of second language is effective when
    people get to embark into the framework of formal instruction. It will hone the
    cognitive capacity with regards to the underlying contexts and rules of the
    certain language that they want to acquire, which are the primary role of
    formal instruction. However, it could become more meaningful and efficient
    when being exposed into environment and gaining interaction and practice. It
    would foster a dynamic second language acquisition and refinement.
