What is explicit learning in SLA?

Explicit learning in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) refers to the intentional and conscious processing of language rules, vocabulary, and grammatical structures. This type of learning involves direct instruction, practice, and explicit explanations of language concepts. Explicit learning is often used in traditional language teaching methods, such as grammar translation and audio-lingual approaches. While explicit learning can be effective for some learners, it is important to balance it with implicit learning, which involves subconscious acquisition of language through exposure and practice.
