【本授業の目的およびねらい】Objectives of this course
This course broadly covers various topics in bilingual psycholinguistic research and provides students with an opportunity to understand second language competence/performance from multiple psycholinguistic perspectives. Issues covered in this course include how bilinguals’ two languages are stored and utilized in their mind/brain and how two languages function with relation to other cognitive processes. By finding, reading, and summarizing primary sources, students will be able to develop their research skills, reading skills, and organizational skills. Furthermore, through in-class discussions with peers, students will be able to master how to read academic articles critically and how to turn a question into a new original research.
