2．When we learn to drive，we need to learn basic skills such as how to switch on the engine，turn on the wipers，operate the brakes，etc.jye.ai we actually take to the road.Once the lower order operations and skills listed above have been automatized or at least routinized to the extent that we do not have to pay attention to them（bypass Working Memory's attentional systems），we can actually be safe in the assumption that we can wholly focus on the higher order skills which will allow us to take the split seconds decisions that will prevent us from getting lost，clash with other cars，break the traffic laws while dealing with our children messing about in the back seats.
This is what the brain does，too，when learning languages.Because Working Memory has a very limited space available when performing any task，the brain has learnt to automatize lower order skills so that，by being performed "subconsciously" they free up cognitive（認知）space.So，for instance，if I am an advanced speaker who has routinized accurate pronunciation，grammar and syntax to a fairly high degree，I will be able to devote more conscious attention（Working Memory space）to the message I want to put across.On the other hand，if I still struggle with pronunciation，word order，irregular verb forms and tenses most of my attention will be taken up by the mechanics of what I want to say，rather than the meaning；this will slow me down and limit my ability to think through what I want to say due to cognitive overload.
In language teaching this important principle translates as follows：in order to enable our students to focus on the higher order skills involved in comprehension and production we need to ensure that the lower-order ones have been acquired or performance will be reduced.
