LLED_O 496: Theory and Practice in Additional Language Teaching and Learning
July 2 – August 8
Format: Online – asynchronous
The general objective of this course is to provide an overview of additional language acquisition theory. Linguistic diversity is gaining increasing importance in the field of education due to shifting economic and social factors related to globalization, immigration, migration, and changing language policy. In response to those shifts, this course facilitates the critical consumption of the knowledge and evidence needed to make informed decisions related to additional language teaching and learning. Class members examine an array of additional language acquisition theory and research in order to authentically evaluate current trends in applied linguistics. Central to this understanding is experiential inquiry connecting theory with practice in order to explore answers to the question of how additional languages are learned.
