Join course instructor Shawn Loewen for the Introduction to Second Language Learning course, designed to give you an in-depth look into the concepts related to second language learning. These concepts include the roles of language input, output, and interaction and how learners acquire vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. The course also explores the individual differences that influence the learning process — age, motivation, anxiety, aptitude — as well as learning strategies and cultural considerations for optimizing language learning.
