Notes

【Course Objectives】

In this class, through literature reading and group activities, this course aims to help students understand the basic concepts of learner psychology in second language acquisition and the fundamentals of research methods related to each of these concepts. Through discussions on what kind of data is obtained, what kind of procedures are followed, and what characteristics and problems exist in various research methods, students will gain deep insight into the concept of learner psychology.

【Course Contents】

While most people acquire their native language naturally, learning a second language has many challenges and difficulties. This course addresses learner psychology in second language acquisition, discussing its theories and concepts and how they affect the acquisition process and outcomes. We will also discuss the psychological factors of learners with the typical (or emerging) research methods and examine what research methods apply to second language acquisition through actual data collection experiences. Students will learn learner psychology and its research methods independently through reading in a circle and group work.

【履修にあたって求められる能力 / Abilities Required to Take the Course】

This class will focus on the theories, concepts, and history of psychology in language learning, so students interested in psychology and related areas of language teaching are welcome. In addition, this class is intended to be a small step (first step) toward writing a future report or graduation thesis that requires experimentation and investigation. Although we will not deal with the technical details of research methods, but only a basic overview, students who are willing to learn such procedures in groups or in pairs are welcome to participate.
