Have you ever wondered why it is difficult to learn a foreign language as an adult while it is seemingly effortless for infants to pick up their native language without being taught? This course approaches this big question of the nature of human language capacity by comparing and contrasting first and second language acquisition. Students will be exposed to previous research in linguistics, modern languages, and developmental psychology, and reflect upon their own language learning experience.
The Library provides access to a wonderful selection of print and electronic resources on a vast array of topics; if we don't have a title that you need, we can typically borrow it from another library nearby or across the country. Additionally, the library provides access to other resources like chargers, white boards, jigsaw puzzles and much more. We also offer welcoming and skilled library staff to help you with all your information needs.
