This unit will examine themes from the field of Research in Language Teaching and Learning (Sprachlehrforschung) as well as the theoretical and practical aspects of German as a foreign language (Deutsch als Fremdsprache). The main issues addressed are the acquisition and teaching of German as a foreign and second language along with major questions in applied linguistics. The assessment tasks are designed to give students the opportunity to apply new knowledge and methodology through independent research on tertiary language teaching concepts and multiple language acquisition.
