Course Syllabus
Abstract
This course examines multilingualism from a psychological perspective. It addresses how people process, comprehend, produce, learn, and manage more than one language, how multiple languages are represented in memory and supported by the brain, and how multilingual experience relates to cognition, development, culture, education, and creativity. The course combines classical bilingualism research with contemporary plurilingual perspectives that conceptualize an individual's linguistic resources as dynamic and interconnected.
Learning Objectives
- Explain major questions, paradigms, models, and debates in the psychology of bilingualism and plurilingualism
- Analyze the methods and empirical evidence used to study multilingual language processing, cognition, development, and behavior
- Distinguish classical bilingual models from contemporary plurilingual approaches and explain where the perspectives converge or diverge
- Locate, evaluate, and use academic sources relevant to a focused research question
- Design and conduct a simple correlational study using a shared class dataset
- Use Jamovi to conduct and report a correlational analysis
- Present scientific material clearly in oral and written formats and interpret correlational findings without causal overstatement.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Explain the major paradigms of multilingualism and demonstrate an understanding of the kinds of questions that are pertinent to the study of the human mind in the multilingual context
- Analyze the methodological and empirical foundations underlying research in multilingualism.
- Utilize academic sources to research and understand mental states and processes in the human mind.
- Organize and present research outcomes visually and/or in writing.
