COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course serves as a general introduction to the study of language acquisition. Principles of first and second language acquisition will be examined in light of such linguistic theory. This subject will focus on
current theoretical notions of language acquisition while paying particular attention to how such notions might become relevant for institutional learning. The development of Pedagogies reflects theoretical
considerations. Students through their subject matter (course work & field work) will be made aware of aspects and issues pertaining to variation among people and diversity of Philippine society, including socio-
linguistic factors, ethnic backgrounds, and attitudes related to gender.
