| The aim of this course is to outline and explain the subjects of mother tongue acquisition, second language acquisition and foreign language learning. It is also to recognize, interpret and compare the theories related to the mentioned topics. Afterwards, it is to evaluate foreign language learning within the framework of these theories and to relate language teaching and language acquisition. | |||||

| Course Contents | ||
| This course, includes the theories of first and second language acquisition (e.g.: behaviorism, innatism, information processing, connectionism, the interactionist position) and developmental stages and sequences of first and target language acquisition; case studies, comparative analysis of the use of native and target languages in corpus data (e.g.: CHILDES database), recordings and/or transcriptions of real second language classroom interaction will be employed for the analysis of first and second language acquisition; comparison of second language acquisition in children and in adults; identifying developmental sequences in first language acquisition; stages in second language morpho-syntactic development; processes in second language acquisition; learner characteristics and individual variation in ultimate attainment in second language acquisition (e.g.: role of personality, language aptitude, intelligence, age of acquisition, motivation and attitudes, learner preferences and beliefs); differences between second language acquisition and foreign language learning contexts (e.g.: natural vs. instructional settings). | ||
