The Linguistics of English as a Foreign Language (Malabarba)

This course draws on students' prior knowledge of linguistics (pronunciation, lexis, grammar) to further understandings of additional language use through close analysis of naturalistic spoken and written data from classroom (and other) contexts where English is used as a foreign/additional (L2) language. It also offers an introduction to microanalytic research focused on the resources mobilized by L2 language users in a range of settings.
