This core subject addresses the theory and practice of second language acquisition and the impact of culture. Students learn and exemplify how first language acquisition differs from second language learning, based on accepted theories such as Behaviourist, Universal Grammar and Cognitivist. Students are taught how their own cultural background relates to language and how that shapes their view of the world. They learn how their own language and culture affect their attitude to interaction with people from other cultures.
