The course comprises two lecture series:

Language Learning
Instructor: Gabriele Kasper, University of
Hawaii at Mānoa
- Usage-Based Approaches for the Study of
Cognitive-Linguistic Dimensions of Multilingual
Development
Instructor: Lourdes Ortega, Georgetown
University
Professor Gabriele Kasper will give an overview
of several socio-interactional approaches to
second language acquisition (SLA), and then
focus on Conversation Analysis (CA) as a
perspective on second language learning and
development. This aspect of the course will
begin with a review of CA's conceptual premises
and methodological principles and practices,
the structure of interaction, and CA’s
perspective on social and psychological
context, with
particular attention to cognition.
Professor Lourdes Ortega will first give an
overview of traditional approaches to the study
of cognitive-linguistic questions in the field
of second language acquisition (SLA), and then
focus on usage-based linguistics (UBL) as a
metatheory of language and four approaches
within SLA that participate from it:
Emergentism, Constructionism, Complexity
Theory, and Dynamic Systems Theory. The course
will also include a session on publishing in
journals.
The program will consist of lectures (2x45
minutes) in the morning by the invited experts,
and short student presentations followed by
discussions in the afternoon. There are
required course readings for the course.
