Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this course, we will explore aspects related to the learning or acquisition of a second or foreign language. We will be looking at linguistic, psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic theories, and will address some of the "classic" themes of this active research field. These include general language learning processes, the issue of age and the critical period of language learning, the influence of the L1 on a second language, social and psycholinguistic factors and the influence of input and interaction.

Assessment
Participants' own research projects will be based on further and more in-depth reading on selected topics and will be presented in class. Assessment is based on class participation, assignments, presentation and a final paper.
