Microcredential in Language Acquisition - A Course for a Teachers

One of the concerns of early childhood and primary education teachers is children's language acquisition. This course aims to offer a global perspective on language acquisition, focusing mainly on typical development but also addressing language disorders (Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), previously known as Specific Language Impairment (SLI); dyslexia). Its goal is to provide teachers with tools to address linguistic development in the current context, where they must combine inclusive classrooms and multilingualism in schools with many other extralinguistic variation factors. This type of training is not sufficiently represented in official early childhood and primary education degrees, which makes continuous training even more necessary to better adapt to classroom contexts.
The teaching team at UAB specializes in language acquisition (especially first languages) and language disorders, and conducts internationally impactful research in this field.
