LLC 672 Bilingualism

This course deals with the ways in which people use two or more languages in everyday life, and begins with an overview of a broad range of social and political issues that underlie much discussion in the literature on bilingualism. Various definitions and descriptions of bilingualism are considered, and the language mixing behavior of bilingual children and adults examined. The course will cover major topics in bilingualism such as language maintenance and shift, attitudes toward bilingualism, bilingual identity, and multilingual policy. It will also examine issues of current social concern related to the education of language minority children and adults.
