Inhalt:

Advanced Seminar:

This module relates the findings of second language (L2) acquisition research to the foreign language classroom. The following questions will be discussed:

• Which strategies do L2 learners typically follow when they ac-quire the sound system, vocabulary, and grammar of a second language?

• How do factors such as age, gender, motivation, language use, and input affect the process of L2 acquisition?

• To what extent do different L2 acquisition theories make predic-tions that are relevant to foreign language teaching?

• Which learning environments help students in a foreign language classroom to reach a high level of L2 proficiency?

Course (Übung): Participants will analyse different types of L2 learner data, relate these data to the predictions of L2 acquisition theories and identify possible causes of learner errors. In addition, students will be introduced to re-search methods in L2 acquisition.
