In this class, we learned about the acquisition of a second language. We learned many different psychological views behind second language learning, and we investigated how different practices of learning a second language compared to others by looking into studies and other class readings
I learn a lot of knowledge about the second language acquisition theory.
different theoretical paradigms of second language acquisition; different teaching methods.
Different theories and approaches about Second Language Acquisition, how to apply theory into practice. Analyze and understand key factors in language learning from different perspectives. Compare different theories and have a clear picture of them.
The course is sooo helpful to me! It helps me build a clear knowledge constructure about Second Language Acquisition. Every week we have readings about a particular theory or a factor in language acquisition, and write a reflection journal about it. It really let me rethink about what I read this week and how it connects to previous readings, thus I have a comprehensive understanding about SLA. It provides not only one theory but different theories, approaches and hypotheses to view SLA. 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Fall 2021 Course: CHNSGU4904_001_2021_3-ACQOFCHINESEASA2NDLANG : CHNSGU4904_001_2021_3 - ACQ OF CHINESE AS A 2ND LANG Instructor: Shaoyan Qi
