Course Objectives: | This course provides an overview of language policies and planning (LPP) within and across nationally and socially defined borders. The course draws on the work of applied linguists, language educators, and ethnographers/qualitative researchers who argue for examining the political and social meanings of language policies. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; By the end of the course, the students should be able to... - present the central theories and methods in language policy and planning research. - explain the most important terms and concepts used in the field. - use these terms and concepts to describe and analyze language situations in various contexts. - describe and analyze language attitudes and ideologies and the ways in which they influence the implementation of language-political decisions in society. - describe the language situation and language policies in Turkey and several other European and Asian countries. |
The course explores the intersection of policy as intended by governmental, political, and/or economic interests; implemented at institutional levels; and experienced by individuals and groups (Davis, 1994, 2009). The course further investigates sociolinguistic experience as a transnational and intercultural phenomena, deriving from global changes in society that impact individual and collective social, cultural, and linguistic identities (Appadurai, 2001). Course participants will draw on their national/transnational interests and concerns to engage in on-the-ground and locally situated language policy research and/or planning intended to foster linguistic, sociocultural, and educational equity. |
