Second Language Acquisition

Catalog description

Second Language Acquisition - Three semester hours This initial-level seminar focuses on “perennial” issues that arise in the study of second language acquisition and our current understanding, re-evaluation and discussion of these issues within the field. It covers both the historical development of the field and current areas of growth such as neurocognitive models of second language acquisition. With a focus on both approaches to second language data analysis and developing theoretical frameworks, the course is designed for graduate students who are primarily research-oriented or primarily practitioners.
