Second Language Vocabulary Development

Course Description

A course on applying knowledge of semantics and morphology to the development of vocabulary for second language learners. Students analyze the production and interpretation of meaning, the characteristics of word stems and affixes, and the processes of word derivation and formation. They also investigate language-specific differences in meaning and morphological rules and how these differences lead to difficulties for learners. Based on this analysis, students evaluate, practice, and develop ways to teach vocabulary effectively in a second language.
