Application of cognitive linguistics in learning and teaching L2 (arch.)
Course title: Application of cognitive linguistics in learning and teaching L2
Instructors: Renata Geld, PhD
ECTS credits: 5
Status: elective
Semester: III
Enrollment requirements: recommended for students with basic knowledge of cognitive linguistics
Course description and objectives: The course offers fundamental aspects of the cognitive linguistic theoretical framework that are relevant for current trends in SLA and TEFL. Upon completing the course the students will be able to do the following: recognize relevant elements from the cognitive linguistic framework and apply them in practice; adjust teaching material and their approach to teaching lexicon and grammar by paying attention to the idea of cognitive motivation in language and its symbolic nature; and consolidate previous knowledge about language, language acquisition, and language teaching in terms of what they have learnt from the cognitive linguistic description of language.
Week by week schedule:
| week | Topics |
| 1 | Fundamental concepts Introduction |
| 2 | Fundamental concepts: the nature of language and language vis-à-vis other cognitive processes |
| 3 | Fundamental concepts: aspects of conceptual structure and construal |
| 4 | Fundamental concepts: cognitive motivation in language / the nature of grammar/lexicon |
| 5 | REVISION Test 1 |
| 6 | Language as an experiential phenomenon: L1 vis-à-vis L2 |
| 7 | Strategic construal (L2 construal): cognitive learning strategies vis-à-vis general cognitive processes |
| 8 | Strategic construal (L2 construal): from specificity to schematicity / from idiomaticity to grammar |
| 9 | Learning L2 by insight: grammar as conceptual structure/meaningfulness of grammar/”making sense” of grammar |
| 10 | REVISION Test 2 |
| 11 | Ways of testing theory in practice |
| 12 | Ways of testing theory in practice: microproject I – plans and drafts |
| 13 | Consolidation |
| 14 | Ways of testing theory in practice: microproject II – reports |
| 15 | Ways of testing theory in practice: microproject II – reports |

Learners with special needs: blindness and SLA-archive
Course title: Learners with special needs: blindness and SLA
Instructor: Asst. Prof. Renata Geld
ECTS credits: 3
Semester: IX
Status: elective
Enrollment requirements: none
Course description and objectives: The course offers basic aspects of interrelation between language, general cognitive processes and experience in relation to issues pertaining to language learning by the blind and visually impaired. Upon completing the course the students will be able to do the following: apply fundamental theoretical knowledge in practice; design and conduct simple studies dealing with language and its relation to other cognitive processes and aspects of experience; bridge the gap between certain theoretical findings and the needs of blind learners in their everyday learning environment; adjust teaching material and approaches to teaching to the needs of the blind; and consolidate previous knowledge about language, language acquisition and language teaching with the knowledge about specific needs of blind learners of L2.
Week by week schedule:
| week | Topics |
| 1 | Fundamental concepts Introduction |
| 2 | Fundamental concepts: visual impairment and L1 development |
| 3 | Fundamental concepts: perceptual nature of knowledge; language as an experiential phenomenon |
| 4 | Fundamental concepts: the nature of L2 in relation to other cognitive processes |
| 5 | Perspective and attention in L1 and L2 |
| 6 | REVISION – Test 1 |
| 7 | The visually impaired at school: everyday challenges |
| 8 | The visually impaired at school: the L2 classroom |
| 9 | The tactile exploration of the world and its relation to reading, writing, listening and speaking |
| 10 | Ways of testing theory in practice |
| 11 | REVISION – Test 2 |
| 12 | Ways of testing theory in practice: microproject I – plans and drafts |
| 13 | Consolidation |
| 14 | Ways of testing theory in practice: microproject II – reports |

Course requirements:The final grade is based on continuous assessment which includes regular attendance (max. 4 unattended classes), preparation for and participation in discussions, and writing and timely submission of seven short written assignments. Each assignment comes with guidelines, prescribed length (c. 800-1500 words) and deadline. Students must receive a minimum passing grade for reach written assignment to successfully pass the course. Plagiarizing detected in a single written assignment will lead to failing of the course.
