Course Description
This course has two major purposes: first, to introduce participants to the major concepts of modern sociolinguistics and some of the important issues and figures of this discipline; second, to work out and apply these understandings to educational situations, particularly those in which students who speak a second language or non-standard dialect confront mainstream educational practices. The goals of the class are to assist teachers in assessing and improving their own educational practices in order to become more effective teachers of language minority students; to help teachers become better informed advocates for students from minority-language backgrounds; and to give teachers information and models for helping others in schools alter their understanding of language issues and improve classroom practices.
