Course Description
This course surveys bilingualism from a variety of perspectives: linguistic, cognitive, social, and instructional, and addresses such questions as: Do bilingual speakers \"turn off\" one language while they speak the other? Does acquiring two languages affect children's academic performance? Are the two languages completely separate or mixed together in the bilingual mind (and brain)? What is the best way to learn a second language? Graduate-level requirements include completing all assignments, writing up a 10-page proposal for an experiment and presenting it (in a 10-15 minute presentation) to the class.
