Utbildningsfakta

Kod: ENGC07

In this course, you gain in-depth insight into how reading and writing skills develop in English, with a particular focus on the interaction between first and second language acquisition.</p><p>This course explores different theoretical models of communicative competence and how they can be applied to second language acquisition, with a focus on reading and writing in English. Both the cognitive and social dimensions of reading and writing processes are examined, as well as how these processes develop when English is learned as a second language.</p><p>Drawing on research in both first and second language acquisition, the course provides a deeper understanding of similarities and differences in how reading and writing skills develop across languages.
