Why is studying first language acquisition important for a teacher teaching a second language?
Understanding how we most naturally learn language (how we learned our first language) helps understand the nature of language learning. The more you can mimic this process in teaching a second language, the better.
It also helps the teacher understand ways learning a second language is unlike learning one's first.
