HIF-2050: Second Language Acquisition Work Load
10 credits (ECTS) | Objectives
Knowledge of language acquisition theory and comparative Norwegian/English syntax with knowledge of common problems in the second language acquisition of English. Students must also develop the skills for oral presentation and argumentation as well as the skills necessary for group work and individual project work. | Contents
Why do we often hear native speakers of English who are speaking Norwegian say things like *I går vi drakk mye vin, while Norwegians learning English rarely have problems with word order? And how do you come to realize that *It was drunk a lot of beer at the party is ungrammatical in English, if no one tells you? This course is an introduction to language acquisition theory and second language acquisition, with an emphasis on English syntax. In addition, students are to work on a project on a limited topic of second language acquisition.
