Class Description:: The objectives of this course are to introduce students to fundamental concepts in the field of linguistics and their application to the acquisition and teaching of Spanish as a second language. We will focus on aspects of Spanish second language acquisition that are particularly difficult for English speakers, examining research studies on the acquisition of the pronominal system, ser and estar, preterite and imperfect, subjunctive, and speech acts. This course will be of special interest to Spanish majors who intend to become Spanish language teachers, but will be of interest to anyone wanting to learn more about how Spanish is acquired as a second language.
