Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This is an interactive proseminar with the aim of introducing research methods used in psycholinguistic research on language learning. The proseminar is suited for students interested into research of “individual differences” in second or multiple language acquisition. The proseminar will concentrate on providing practical insights into testing language learners based on an ongoing large research project and database about neuroanatomical-, neurofunctional, psycholinguistic and cognitive-psychological differences between high and low aptitude second language learners.

Assessment and permitted materials

own field work, discussion in class, presentations and group work, proseminar paper
