Prerequisites
General Prerequisites
The aim of the course is to present sociolinguistic aspects of bilingualism and of its educational implications. 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. Furthermore, the main types of bilingualism 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.Particular emphasis is given on the distinction between folk (arising in immigrant settings) and elite bilingualism (associated with the learning of prestigious European languages such as German) and the language attitudes associated with these types of bilingualism.
