Description

This module deals with the interrelations between language, politics and education. What is the place of language in education, and how and why is it a political question? It will examine how politics, power and different forms of social and linguistic inequality play out in various contexts of education, including home and non-formal learning environments. More specifically, the module looks into the different ways people around the world – teachers, pupils, parents, curators, etc. – deal with and respond to linguistic differences in the classroom, at home and in other contexts of teaching and learning. A key feature is to provide, explore and examine concrete ways of addressing mechanisms of power and inequalities through informed and critical pedagogical practices. It goes beyond implications of the study of language and politics by engaging in informed practices of teaching and learning, thus it will be of interest to students who would like to see the interconnections between language, politics and education as theoretically, critically and pedagogically informed.
