Course description

The course will explore the cognitive and social nature of bilingualism and dispel myths (both negative and positive) about this complex phenomenon. Students will develop a sensitive view of advantages and challenges that come with knowing two or more languages and cultures, and the way identity, power and language interact in bilingual and multilingual spaces. The students will also reflect on the way language development histories and socio-political contexts may affect language use and the implications for maintaining individual and community bilingualism.
