Notes

【Course Objectives】

This class aims to help students understand the basic concepts of learner psychology in second language acquisition and the fundamentals of research methods related to each concept. Through literature reading and group activities, students will gain deep insight into learner psychology by discussing how data is obtained, what procedures are followed, and what characteristics and problems exist in various research methods.

【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 theories, concepts, and the history of psychology in language learning and education. Students interested in educational psychology and related areas of language learning and teaching are welcome. In addition, this class is intended to be a small (first) step toward learning the role of psychology through research-based activities. Although we will not discuss the technical details of research methods but only a basic overview, students willing to learn such procedures in groups or pairs are welcome to participate. Since there are many opportunities for cooperative learning with classmates, students are expected to participate in activities autonomously.
