602 Bilingualism in Schools and Society

This course examines the complex factors at play in becoming bilingual in linguistically diverse communities globally. Students critically review research on bilingual language development, translanguaging, and sociolinguistic variation to understand sociocultural and linguistic aspects of bi/multilingualism. While synthesizing implications for education, students consider how language, power, and equity shape bilingualism in schools and society.
