DESCRIPTION
This course offers a comprehensive overview of the psychological foundations of language and literacy development across the lifespan, with a particular focus on childhood and school-aged learning. Drawing on cognitive, linguistic, developmental, and neuropsychological perspectives, the course explores key components of language acquisition, emergent literacy, reading and spelling development, and reading comprehension. Attention is given to diverse learning contexts, including bilingual and multilingual environments, and to identifying and supporting learners with language and literacy difficulties such as Developmental Language Disorder and dyslexia. Students will engage with both theoretical models and evidence-based assessment and intervention approaches.
