In this seminar we will concentrate on first language acquisition. We will investigate recent research into child language, infant bilingualism, caretaker speech and the influence of input versus the innateness hypothesis.
In order to obtain course credit, a student must pass a short quiz in the third week of the tutorial, give two oral presentations in class and write a 12-15 page term paper. The first presentation is a reading report on a book or a few articles, and the second is on work in progress leading to the term paper. More information will be available on the English Linguistics homepage.
The voluntary tutorial with Lucas Hütten offers students an opportunity to explore current research in first language acquisition as well as to gain practice in academic writing and oral presentation. Students who would like to participate in the seminar should register via Clix. |
