Monolingualism, Bilingualism and Multilingualism<\/strong><\/span>
University Course Taught in English
(elective course open to both foreign and Croatian students)<\/span><\/p>\n

Instructor: Marta Medved Krajnovic, PhD<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
Institution<\/span>: Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Univeresity of Zagreb<\/span><\/strong>
<\/strong><\/span><\/span>Course title<\/strong><\/span>: <\/strong> MONOLINGUALISM, BILINGUALISM\u00a0 AND MULTILINGUALISM: DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE
Language<\/strong>: English
Number of hours per semester: <\/strong>30 hours – the course can be organised throughout a semestar (2 hours per week) or as a concentrated 3-week module (10 hours per week)
ECTS: <\/strong>4 credits
Level<\/strong>: The course can be tailored to suit graduate and undergraduate<\/strong> level.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Course content: <\/strong> During 15 teaching units students will get familiar with the processes of first, second and foreign language acquisition, use and maintenance. Several leading theories that are trying to explain these processes will be presented and discussed. Special focus will also be put on the dynamic interaction among an individual\u2019s languages and characteristics of a successful second \/ foreign language user in a global, multilingual society. Students will also be informed about research methods in language acuqisition sciencies.<\/p>\n

<\/span>UNIT 1 \u2013 introduction; defining first, second and foreign language acquisition\/learning; historical overview of the respective research disciplines
UNIT 2 \u2013 the course and milestones in 1st language acquisition
UNIT 3 –\u00a0 theoretical explanations of 1st language acquisition
UNIT 4 \u2013 revision: student presentations and discussion
UNIT 5 \u2013 the process of second language acquisition:\u00a0 development of a learner\u2019s language
UNIT 6 \u2013 crosslinguistic interaction and multicompetence
UNIT 7 \u2013 theoretical explanations of 2nd language acquisition (from 1970s \u2013 1990s)
UNIT 8 \u2013 theoretical explanations of 2nd language acquisition (from 1990s \u2013 present day)
UNIT 9 \u2013 revision: student presentations and discussion
UNIT 10 \u2013 the process of foreing language learning: the role of input and interaction
UNIT 11 \u2013 individual differences in language acquisition (cognitive factors and the age factor)
UNIT 12 \u2013 individual differences in language acquisition (affective factors and strategies)
UNIT 13 \u2013 research methods in language acquisition studies
UNIT 14 \u2013 revision: student presentations and discussion
UNIT 15 \u2013\u00a0 multilingual individual in a multicultural world: opportunities and challenges<\/p>\n

<\/span>General and specific competencies: <\/strong><\/span>Students will get familiar with a fast developing field of language acquisition studies and gain new insights into the nature of human language capacity. The aim is also that throughout the course students develop a better understanding of their own language acquisition and language use processes, and of what is needed for a successful communication and functioning in a bilingual \/ multilingual environment. The students will also have an opportunity to further develop their presentation and debating skills.
Type of teaching: <\/strong><\/span> seminar classes (up to 20 studends)<\/span>
<\/span>Type of student evaluation<\/strong><\/span>: Students will be assessed on the basis of three sources of data: attendance and active participation in the seminar sessions; a 5 minute written test (administered at the beginning of each new unit) checking their basic understanding of the main issues covered in the previous unit; a 10-minute presentation of readings and a discussion related to a relevant topic.
Type of course evaluation<\/strong>: Course evaluation process will be two-fold:
1. during Units 4, 9 and 14 students will be asked to write a personal opinion paper about the clarity and relevance of the topics presented during previous sessions;
2. University administered course evaluation questionnaire <\/p>\n
