Prerequisites
General Prerequisites
The aim of the course is to present sociolinguistic aspects of education. The centripetal role of education is discussed, which promotes a specific linguistic code, the "standard variety", competing with the linguistic codes brought by many students from home. Linguistic discriminations are examined at school. The concept of bilingualism is considered to be an important factor of linguistic heterogeneity in modern (Greek) school, which is approached as a case of juxtaposition between the restricted or oral code (students’ L1) and the elaborated or written code (school language norm). Furthermore, the main types of bilingualism and bilingual education are presented. Finally, we discuss the widespread views, attitudes and ideologies in society in general and in the educational community in particular (teachers, parents, students) on bilingualism, linking them to the broader sociolinguistic phenomena of linguistic attitudes and ideologies.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: - understand basic concepts of bilingualism - to perceive the advantages of simultaneous and maximal bilingual development - to become aware of the social prejudices associated with bilingualism - to distinguish the symbolic values invested to language and to assess the social inequalities with which specific uses of language are linked to education
