1. To acquire knowledge about the socio-cognitive bases of bilingualism.
2. To develop critical reading skills.Course description:
The seminar, which will take place entirely in English, will provide an overview of the state of the art regarding the socio-cognitive aspects of bilingualism, regarding its neural bases, and regarding advantages and challenges linked to bi- and multilingualism, this being the norm in many places around the world. Students will learn about different types of bilingualism, about the advantages and challenges that accompany the mastery of two or more languages, as well as contradictory behavioral and brain imaging findings related to executive / cognitive advantages linked to bilingualism. We will also address bilingualism from a social point of view, and discuss bilingualism-related policy issues. Students will also learn about neural differences or changes (i.e. plasticity) arising from learning a second (or more) language(s).There are no prerequisites for taking this seminar. It will include introductions to brain imaging methods, and to neuroanatomy and to the functional anatomy of language. Solid knowledge of spoken and written English is, however, required.
