| ENG5280 | Neurocognitive Approaches to Second Language Acquisition | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-8 | - | No | |
| Theories of language acquisition are largely classified into two perspectives: Domain-specific and domain-general. Domain-specific perspective argues that language has a very unique, abstract and complex structure, which distinguishes language from all other kinds of information that are learned/acquired through general learning mechanism. Domain-general perspective argues that language is one kind of information among many that are learned in a general cognitive mechanism. The one originates from Chomsky and focuses on unique system of language, such as Universal Grammar, and argues unique and independent learning module from any other learning processes. The other focuses on real-time processing of information moment by moment, i.e., millisecond to millisecond processing of incoming information or stimulus for the cognitive analysis of information processing. Furthermore, recent development of non-invasive neuro-analysis that is carried on while the participants process language adds a layer of understanding of real-time language processing. This course will, therefore, combine, language theory, processing theory and empirical methodology, and neurollinguistic theory and research for a more composite understanding of language acquisition. | |||||||||
