This course is designed to allow students to develop their knowledge of psycholinguistical issues and areas of research. During the course of the semester we shall be investigating a wide range of topics, including (amongst others):

• language and linguistic knowledge
• language and the brain
• language and memory: language comprehension
• the biological nature of language acquisition
• processing models of language acquisition (e.g. connectionism, information processing)
• second language acquisition
• language disorders

The course will be supported with the online learning platform ‘Moodle’. High speed Internet access (e.g. ISDN or DSL) is strongly recommended but not obligatory.

The course will be held in English, and the requirements for credit points include a research paper, as well as an regular active participation evidenced by an e-portfolio.
