1. An Introduction to Applied Linguistics
4. Foreign Language Knowledge and Course Planning
This unit attempts to answer the question “what does it mean to know a foreign language”. Starting with a discussion of the terms competence and performance as defined by Chomsky, the presentation focuses on communicative competence and models of communicative competence developed within the area of applied linguistics. The distinction between declarative and procedural knowledge is also discussed and how different conceptions of foreign language knowledge impact on language course design.
