critical awareness and thorough understanding of key issues related
to sociolinguistics, bi/multilingualism and language in society.
After considering fundamental issues such as what the study of
sociolinguistics entails and key concepts in sociolinguistics, the
module will focus on a range of topics, including language
ideologies, multilingual societies and speech communities, language
socialisation, language planning and policies, language maintenance
and shift, and style and language variation. There will also be a
specific focus on researching language in society, with an

historical texts. In addition, connections will be made to personal
experience and professional practice in language education and
education as a whole.
