- You will develop a critical understanding of different elements of language policy, such as language ideologies and language practices, and how these shape language behaviour and play out in people’s practices on the ground.
- You will gain hands-on insights into how language policy is written, implemented and experienced in a range of areas such as education, the workplace and the field of politics.
- You will get familiar with discourse-analytic and sociolinguistic tools to analyse language policy as text, discourse and practice.Method of the course:
Based on readings, practice-based activities, joint discussions, group work, assignments, and individual research, you will learn about relevant language policy approaches, methods and contexts. By undertaking small-scale empirical studies, you will gain experience in undertaking language policy research (case studies) and gain insights into the layers of language policy in practice.
This seminar is hybrid and set up with a digital semester apparatus (weekly readings and documents/materials for the course) and assignments in Moodle). Synchronous communication takes place via Zoom and face-to-face during a two-day blocked seminar in March and a student mini-conference in June).
