S-Rsrch Bilingualism & Society
Course Number	EDUC 792A
Course Title	S-Rsrch Bilingualism & Society
Department	Education
Campus	University of Massachusetts
Course Description	Drawing on sociolinguistic and ethnographic studies, this course will explore how sociocultural dimensions of bilingualism and biculturalism, as well as other linguistic diversity, can be researched by examining their function in various social institutions. This course examines how theories of accommodation, assimilation, and resistance explain motivation for attitudes toward bilingualism and becoming bilingual. Through the lens of socio-political theories, we will examine how responses to bilingualism historically have fluctuated.
