[expand title=”480N (1) Topics in SL Analysis: Basic Language Concepts for Second Language Learning, Teaching, and Use”]
Second Language Studies investigates how people learn and use another language, be it a second, third, heritage, or foreign language. In order to do so, we first need terminology and tools that allow us to capture and describe the phenomenon we are concerned with: human language. Through this course, students establish a basic linguistic toolkit for describing language, including learner language, at various levels: sounds, words, sentences, and discourse. [/expand] |

[expand title=”750 (2) Seminar in SL Acquisition: Child L2 acquisition”]
The purpose of this seminar is to examine research on child L2 acquisition, with particular emphasis on syntax and morphology. Research into child L2 acquisition has the potential to inform our understanding of adult L2 acquisition as well as L1 acquisition. We will examine some of the very few studies that directly compare L2 (and L1) children and L2 adults in the acquisition of particular grammatical phenomena. Students will become familiar with the theoretical issues at stake as well as the empirical base of recent work. [/expand] |
