The course is organized around three overarching questions (as suggested by Ortega, 2019):
● How do humans learn additional languages after they have learned their first?
● What factors contribute to the variability observed in rates and outcomes of second language learning?
● What does it take to attain advanced language and literacy competencies in a language other than the mother tongue?
And one contextualizing question:
● What is the take on second language learning/acquisition in Latin America?

● What factors contribute to the variability observed in rates and outcomes of second language learning?
● What does it take to attain advanced language and literacy competencies in a language other than the mother tongue?
