Introduction to Dutch linguistics and a good knowledge of Dutch.
This course deals with the principal concepts of foreign language learning (for example, the concept of errors, the notion of interlanguage, the role of the native language in foreign language acquisition and learning, the different learning strategies, etc.)
Prominent aspects will be: morphosyntactic, phonetic, and lexical aspects of the interlanguage of learners of Dutch (as a foreign language), especially of French-speaking learners of Dutch.
At the end of the course, students should :
1. have developed a theoretical knowledge of language acquisition vs. foreign language learning;
2. have acquired a theoretical and practical knowledge of the characteristics of the interlanguage of learners of Dutch as a foreign language, especially French-speaking learners of Dutch;
3. been able to conduct their own research in interlanguage study.

Flipped classroom and attendance at a conference
In the first part of this course, we will discuss the different theories of foreign language acquisition and learning.
In the second part we will deal, on the basis of case studies, with analyses of morphosyntactic, phonetic, and lexical aspects of the interlanguage of learners of Dutch (as a foreign language), especially of French-speaking learners of Dutch. We will also focus on the processes that can explain the different types of errors that appear in the interlanguage.
