Description
Language use in home, community, and classroom contexts will be examined, with a particular focus on the ways that language policies, language ideologies, and power issues permeate communities as well as school structures and teaching practices. A special emphasis of this course will be the conducting of ethnographic fieldwork on language processes within a community context. Students enrolled in 7639 will be expected to meet a higher standard of performance and may be assigned additional work.
