Intentional learning occurs when it is the primary goal of a learner.
For example, someone who wants to learn a new language reads a book in a language and looks up new words that they encounter to improve their vocabulary.
This is contrasted with incidental learning, where the same learner just picks up words while talking with someone in the target language without attempting to learn new vocabulary.
