The Teaching and Learning Center invites聽绿巨人视频 faculty and students to a symposium on Second Language Acquisition and Teaching.聽

This symposium 鈥淧ushing for precision on initial input processing in SLA: Are we speaking the same language?鈥� will address input processing at the initial stages of foreign language acquisition and the interface with foreign language teaching.聽Building on the richness of theories in Second Language Acquisition research, rather than eschewing it, we wish to discuss input processing from different perspectives with a view to identifying overlap in our research hypotheses, theories, methodologies and/or findings. The following questions will guide guest speaker presentations and overall discussion: How is language represented in our minds? What are the cognitive processes involved in input processing? What is the relation between input processing, intake and acquisition? What are implications of our research and theoretical frameworks for questions of implicit and explicit learning? How do these implications extend to questions of language teaching?聽The symposium will conclude with a roundtable designed to identify common themes, work to build consensus and lay out directions for future research.
