This issue needs to be addressed in which language skills are declarative and which skills

are procedural. In declarative knowledge that is defined as the factual information stored

in memory and known to be static in nature. In declarative knowledge we can find

vocabulary and sociolinguistic competence. Meanwhile procedural knowledge is the

knowledge of how to perform, or how to operate. It marks reference to grammatical

competence and strategic knowledge. But, it only depends in the focus and the types of

learning activities that should be emphasized during initial instructions. In relation with

attrition it can be affected in different linguistic levels (e.g. phonology, morphology,

syntax) and also in the sub skill area (reading, writing, listening, speaking) besides, it

affects in language functions (explaining, describing, getting) and in some areas of

competence (sociolinguistic and discourse of competence).
