Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

The aim of this course is to provide an overview of the various issues implicated in Second Language (L2) and Foreign Language (FL) teaching and learning, with a particular focus on students with atypical development. The course first sets the background to this topic by discussing relevant legislation and official reports. After a brief description of language development in monolingual individuals, subsequent lectures focus on the following neurodevelopmental disorders: hearing impairment, autism spectrum disorder, developmental language disorder. After issues of bilingualism in typical individuals are discussed, evidence on the link between language, literacy and psychosocial difficulties is presented. The role of the bilingual home environment in the language learning experiences of atypical learners is then considered. The course concludes with the perspective of (foreign) language teachers and other professionals (e.g. speech and language therapists, doctors).
