This unit explores how language is acquired through different linguistic, sociocultural and psychological approaches to language and learning. Students explore how these various approaches apply to different language learning contexts, including first and second language acquisition, bilingualism and multilingualism, language revitalisation and maintenance, and autonomous language learning. The unit also explores the role of technology in language acquisition. Students learn how to apply key language learning theories to specific learning and teaching contexts to identify key considerations for effective language acquisition.
