Course Description

The course deals with the process in which the second language acquisition is learned. The goals in this course are to provide an introductory overview of the current trends of SLA studies; to stimulate interest in second language learning and provide guidance for further reading and study; to offer practical help to second language learners and future teachers. It is designed to introduce the theories and approaches in SLA research from the interdisciplinary perspectives: linguistic, psychological and sociocultural. Topics include the role of first language, interlanguage and the natural route of development, variability in interlanguage, individual learner differences and second language acquisition, input interaction and output, learner strategies, the universal Hypothesis and second language acquisition, the role of formal instruction in second language acquisition, theories of second language acquisition, multimodality and SLA. Both theoretical and instructional implications of second language acquisition research are considered.
