About this Unit
In 2008 this unit replaced by 101451 - Second Language Acquisition. This is one of four core units for language students -- most of whom have acquired and will continue to study a second language -- with the aim of providing a broad-spectrum theoretical framework in the Languages and Linguistics area. This unit provides insights into the process of acquisition of a second language from a psycholinguistic point of view through an examination of the development of current theories of Second Language Acquisition and relevant research.
