just a tip for learning and teaching

as I said before, I have been reading a book called '' Teacher Language Awareness'' and I think it is pretty awesome and they talk about L2 and the knowledge of the teacher, there are two types of knowledge according to the book, Implicit knowledge and Explicit knowledge. the first one is the ''acquired knowledge'' that is unconscious and the Explicit knowledge is the ''learned knowledge''.
According to this book it can not be in the procedure of learning, first the learned knowledge and then the acquired knowledge, it goes different; first the acquired knowledge and then the learned knowledge, that is it. First you have like a contact with the language and unconscious you learned things and then you go on looking for the correct grammar and all that stuff.
My advice for you is, as a teacher, it is to look for activities that take your students to an acquired knowledge and you can do that through the interest centers, according to what your students are looking for and what they like, then you go on to the learned-knowledge activities.
I  think this is a good way to learn and to teach  English.
