About:
In my presentation I will discuss an acquisition-based model for second language assessment. Processability Theory (PT; Pienemann 1998, Dyson & Håkansson 2017) is a cognitive theory of language development that describes the acquisition of grammar in stages.
PT has been applied to the second language development of a range of languages, including Arabic, French, Icelandic and Swedish (in total 20 languages as second languages). I will present examples of how teachers in preschools and schools make use of the stages and are able to follow the learners' development over time.
The guest lecture is organised in collaboration with the Research Center of Language Acquisition (ís. Rannsóknarstofan í máltileinkun).
