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.
When we understand intentional learning, we can optimise learning and teaching.

Similar ideas to Intentional learning
You must speak the language right away if your goals in the target language involve speaking it.
When you have no one else to speak to, there’s nothing wrong with talking to yourself in a foreign language.
This can keep new words and phrases fresh in your mind. It also helps build up your confidence for the next time you speak with someone.
