No simpler a question ....

No simpler a question is one that probes the nature of the subject matter itself. What is it that the learner must learn and the teacher teach? What is communication? What is language? What does it mean when we say someone knows how to use a language? How can both the L1 and the L2 be described adequately? What are the linguistic differences between the L1 and the L2? These profound questions are of course central to the discipline of linguistics. The language teacher needs to understand the system and functioning of the L2 and the differences between the L1 and L2 of the learner. It is one thing for a teacher to speak and understand a language and yet another matter to attain the technical knowledge required to understand and explain the system of that language -- its phonemes and morphemes and words and sentences and discourse structures.

If that is so, the respondent is in the wrong. Stick with EF, a reputable source of information.
