LING 200 - (How) Language Matters

Institution:

California State University-Northridge

Subject:

Linguistics and TESL Program

Description:

This course draws heavily from current issues in society to highlight the role of language. It explores strategies we use to construct and reflect our identities (as skaters, rappers, school girls, nerds, etc.), to form new meanings, and to accommodate popular new technologies (e.g., texting). This course also examines personal and societal perceptions and attitudes towards the language use and competence of others. Students will undertake a challenging, collaborative, hands-on analysis to appreciate (how) language matters. (Available for General Education, Arts and Humanities)
