| Title |
Multilingual Societies & Practices (BA FS & MA Lecture Language and Linguistics) (UNGRADED)(Open to CSLS) |
| Description |
Most societies nowadays are multilingual given widespread globalization and migration processes on a global scale. According to the Linguistic Society of America, “multilingualism isn't unusual; in fact, it's the norm for most of the world's societies. It's possible for a person to know and use three, four, or even more languages fluently” (2022). This course traces the historical development of multilingual studies from the 1960s up until the present day. It offers a post-modern perspective of language(s) and multilingual practices within different socio-cultural and political contexts on a global level. The course will allow students to engage directly and critically with past and current debates about multilingualism as well as presenting students with different theoretical frameworks and methodological trends in the field of multilingualism studies with regards to diverse multilingual societies and practices. The course will focus on a range of multilingual contexts, some of which include a) multilingual practices within families and family language policy (FLP), b) multilingual workplaces c) multilingualism, literacy, and education, d) digital multilingual practices, e) multilingual art, and f) multilingual advertising. A written exam is scheduled for the end of term.
