Teaching and learning are simultaneous in the practise of Knowledge acquisition and are synonymous concepts in the delivery of educational instruction. Unless you have the power of critical analysis, linguistic competence and communication, of course, what you know as knowledge remains and dies with you.

Equally this paper recommends effective-creative literacy and proper linguistic mastery and disposition if sound knowledge must be transferred and received.
