Abstract: This study offers a comparative analysis of teaching techniques in English language instruction, focusing on their effectiveness in First Language Acquisition (FLA) and Second Language Acquisition (SLA). The research explores key pedagogical approaches, including immersive learning, explicit instruction, and communicative methods, evaluating their impact on language proficiency development in both native and non-native learners. By examining theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence, the study highlights the differences in cognitive processes, learner motivation, and sociocultural factors influencing FLA and SLA. Findings suggest that while immersive and naturalistic methods are more effective in FLA, explicit and structured instruction yields better results in SLA contexts. The paper concludes with recommendations for educators to tailor their techniques to learner needs, optimizing language acquisition outcomes in varied contexts.
