Learning outcomes

Module: PARTE I
-------
The course aims at providing students with an introduction to the general principles that rule the learning and use of a second/foreign language, with particular attention to the development of L2 grammar (morpho-syntactical competence) and of L2 lexicon.


Module: PARTE II
-------
An introduction to the general principles that rule the learning and use of a second language, with particular attention to intercultural communication and individual learning variables.

Program

Module: PARTE I
-------
The course introduces the models of L2/foreign language acquisition and learning and describes them from a historical perspective (behaviorism, innatism, cognitivism, functionalism). It describes and discusses the basic notions of L2 acquisition and foreign language learning, such as that of interlanguage, sequence of acquisition, input, fossilization, levels of proficiency. Finally, the course provides the students with the tools for the linguistic analysis of the interlanguage and for the description of the main principles driving the linguistic development in child and adult L2 acquisition.
