Second language acquisition 4100-IIIMWOAINJO
The master's course in foreign language acquisition and learning provides and expands knowledge in the field of foreign language acquisition and learning in school settings. The course includes four thematic modules:
Module 1 entitled "Products and Processes" explains the mechanisms and effects/products of the language acquisition process in a classroom setting. The module begins with an introduction and extended analysis of concepts in the field of general didactics and glottodidactics: knowledge, skills, skills, competences, accidental and intentional learning. The module also provides knowledge about the interlanguage and its selected features: complexity, correctness and fluency.
Module 2 is devoted to modern teaching approaches and methods, i.e.: content-language integrated learning (CLIL); task-based approach (TBL); cognitive approach taking into account the role of interaction in the learning process; conceptual teaching); an approach emphasizing data processing (processing instruction); constructivist didactics. The module also covers issues related to the evaluation and assessment process in the language classroom.
Module 3, "Aspects of the student's language", focuses on issues related to the acquisition of language subsystems and the development of selected language skills, e.g.: acquiring phonetics, lexis, grammar, developing receptive and productive skills.
Module 4, "Individual Differences in Language Acquisition", addresses the issue of individual differences in language learning in the classroom and discusses, in turn, differences of a social, cognitive and psychological nature (motivation, personality, language anxiety). A separate lecture is devoted to the characteristics and role of the teacher in the language acquisition process.
