EDU 703 Sociolinguistics and Language Teaching (MARCH 2026)

This course introduces participants to concepts and issues in sociolinguistics which are relevant to their lives as prospective or practicing language teachers. The course combines topics from two theoretical and research fields: sociolinguistics, which examines the relationship between language and society, and language teaching, which includes the examination of what happens in the classroom with teachers and learners, and also how these practices relate to the broader socio-political contexts in which the teaching and learning take place.
