The CIVIS open online course is open for CIVIS MA and BA with a level of English of at least B2 and will consist of ten 2-hour sessions and two 3-hour sessions at the end of the course (Weeks 11-12)

The aim of this course is to provide an overview of the various issues implicated in Second Language (L2) and Foreign Language (FL) teaching and learning, with a particular focus on students with atypical development. The course first sets the background to this topic by discussing relevant official reports. A brief description of language development and language disorders in monolingual individuals follows. After issues of bilingualism are discussed, subsequent lectures focus on L2 and FL teaching and learning in atypical learners (hearing impairment, autism spectrum disorder, developmental language disorder, intellectual disability, dementia). The role of the home environment in the language learning experiences of atypical learners is then considered. The course concludes with the language teachers’ perspective.
