Learning Outcomes of UE

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.

Content of UE

Neurobiological and genetic basis of language;  environment's role . Approaches : generativist vs Social interactionist theory. Phonological, morphosyntactic, lexical, pragmatic and metalinguistic aspects of the language development
