Language, Culture, and Education in a Global Society (ELP 450C)
Are you interested in learning more about multilingualism and muticulturalism in education?
We, ourselves from diverse backgrounds of everywhere in the global world as well as the United States, interact with ever-increasingly diverse people in our daily context and through the media. Then, how competent are we as global citizens in our understanding, communicating, and interacting with our fellow diverse members of local, regional, national, and transnational communities?
To address the critical need for developing and fostering global leadership with improved knowledge, skills, and disposition, you are invited to participate in this hybrid course–with face-to-face classroom meetings and online participation combined. Through on-going discussions on scholarly literature, interviews, and popular cultural films, interactive lectures, presentations, group discussion leads, and empirical research projects, students will gain a deeper understanding of languages and cultures with their powerful relevance to and impact on education and beyond.
This course is appropriate for students in a range of majors interested in multilingualism and multiculturalism in a global, educational context.
