Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
The grade will be based on 1) the oral presentation of a scientific article (40% of grade), 2) one written homework assignment designed to assess integration and understanding of the material presented in the course and of mandatory readings (40% of grade), and 3) class participation (20% of grade).
Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
To pass, students will be required to present a scientific paper (40%), to do a written assignment (40%) and to participate actively in the seminar, asking questions and contributing to discussions (20%). Also, to receive credit for the seminar you cannot miss more than one session, AND you can only deregister within the first 2 days after the first session – by Wednesday October 5th (i.e. after that, de-registrations will result in an insufficient grade). Also, should you miss a session you will be asked to complete an extra assignment on the topic of the missed lecture.
Prüfungsstoff
The content of the lectures, the readings and the discussions that take place during the seminar will be relevant for the homework assignment.

1. To acquire a wide perspective on the research and questions on the neural basis of language.
2. To develop critical reading skills.Course description:
The seminar, which will take place entirely in English, will cover the themes of brain functional and structural correlates of speech and language, and more specifically, of the brain networks underlying language processing at different levels of processing (phonological, semantic, syntactic and prosodic). It will also cover the theme of brain plasticity arising from language learning and from language expertise.There will be one to two mandatory readings per session. During each session, there will be a lecture on the topic(s) of the session, followed by student presentations of the mandatory reading(s). The presentations will be done by one student or by groups of 2-3 students, depending on the number of students who register for the seminar. The presentation has to cover the study background, methods, results and discussion, and students need to critically discuss the main results of the study and its limitations. If the paper is a review or opinion paper, the student will summarize and critically discuss its contents.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.
