This course introduces the basic principles of Sociolinguistics, emphasizing the connections between language and society and the way language is used in different social situations. Attention will be focused on the social and cultural nature of second language acquisition for children and adolescents in American schools and adults in community and professional settings. Field-based experiences and case studies will help educators build on the linguistic assets multilingual students and communities bring to their learning.
