  1. Introduction to ENG / LIN / EDC 513 Written summaries of articles, 15 percent. Midterm exam, 15 percent. Class discussion, 15 percent. Class participation, 15 percent. Research literature review; annotated bibliography, 40 percent.

  2. Ideas for Final Paper Writing across cultures: Contrastive rhetoric and classroom practice Second language learning motivation Language attrition Learning approaches and culture: Does the “good” learner exist across the globe? A review of foreign language anxiety research Attitudes and acquisition: The relationship between attitude toward speakers of a target language and second language acquisition Learning culture through music in the foreign language classroom Teacher and student code switching in the classroom One interlanguage or two? The tools and fools of LCTL [less commonly taught languages] promotion Access to universal grammar: Is it really “all or nothing”? Social dialects Literature and ESL acquisition Error correction past and present Learning strategies of second language learners Language death: Its causes, consequences, and hope Humor, jokes, and ESL learners: A good mix or a witch’s potion Second language acquisition and the age factor: Levels of competence and possible reasons for the variances

  3. Ideas for Final Paper The issue of ultimate attainment and the critical period hypothesis in second language acquisition. Approaches to the “age of acquisition” or “critical period” issue: Is the critical period hypothesis valid? What evidence exists to contradict the hypothesis? Critical period in first language acquisition Critical period in second language acquisition: phonological studies (accent) Critical period in second language acquisition: syntactic/morphological/semantic studies

  16. Assumptions of Inquiry History of thinking about language – and more Langue Parole (Saussure) Competence Performance (Chomsky) Generative Lx Descriptive Lx Cognitive Psyche Behavioral Psyche Nature Nurture

  17. Assumptions of Inquiry NatureNurture Each approach is driven by scholars’ assumptions about why things are they way they are: we are born with innate knowledge tabula rasa scholars study that innate knowledge overt behavior how scholars study it artifacts; anthropologist direct observation problems with this characterization dichotomous assumptions; post / modernity; SLA

  18. Assumptions of Inquiry NatureNurture popular culture debates extra Y chromosome the “gay gene” genetic predisposition (re: intelligence, physical skills, and so on) of different racial groups Second Language Acquisition
