能力項目說明
This course will pay special attention to the most important issues of second language acquisition (SLA). More importantly, this course will discuss the implications of research on L2 for foreign language learning. The course will thus explore the multiple aspects of this area, including theoretical background; the nature of language learning, styles and strategies, personality factors, sociocultural factors, communicative competence, interlanguage, contrastive and error analysis, the learning of various language skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing), and recent developments in all of these areas.
