Second Language Acquisition
Presents research underlying the major theories of second language acquisition. The importance of such factors as age, role of first language, language environment, learning style, and motivation is examined. Other topics to be discussed include acquisition order, error analysis, interlanguage, and discourse analysis, as well as implications for classroom practice. Students reflect on the process of language acquisition by tutoring a non-native English speaker.
