Language acquisition 4100-6SWOAINJO
During the lecture, participants gain knowledge of the most important elements of the mother tongue and foreign language acquisition process, which include: sounds and phonetic features of the language, vocabulary, morphology, grammar, syntax, meaning and pragmatic aspects. Students experience an in-depth reflection on the diversity of language learning processes, with particular emphasis on the differences between the acquisition of J1 and J2. Factors shaping these processes are discussed, ie the age of the student, linguistic environment and cognitive processes as well as the level of language proficiency, language skills, motivation, affect and other individual differences, social dimensions of learning. The most recent theoretical accounts of L1 and L2 acquisition are also presented and discussed. Participants will also learn the basic terminology typical of the field.
