      Objectives of general skills

      • Have a complete understanding. Analyse any communicative situation (real or depicted) in reference to the theoretical and methodological frameworks within various scientific approaches to language.
        • Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge and methodological approaches to understand and explain the normal/atypical/pathological functioning of individuals, groups or organisations, using any form of language.
      • Have a willingness to keep learning. Assess and pursue professional and personal development.
        • Monitor knowledge and methodological approaches in order to evolve their thinking and practice.
      • Adopt a specialist approach to the relationship between language and cognition. Master the knowledge and skills required for neurolinguistic assessment and intervention.
        • Understand the cognitive and neurological foundations of language.

      UE's Learning outcomes

      At the end of this course, students will be able to describe the evolution of language (lexical aspects, grammar, phonetics, ..), and characterize the roles of the different variables which can play a part in the language performance. They  will acquire knowledge and experience with  different approaches  (tests, Parent Report Measure, ..) to language assessment with young children.
