Course Title

Bilingualism

Description

This course will explore the nature of bilingualism, both as a societal and an individual human phenomenon. It will include the study of language domains, language acquisition and language loss, the psychological, cognitive, legal, and sociological implications of living with two languages, and the educational and economic aspects of bilingualism. Students will have the opportunity to practice applied linguistics by integrating class materials with first-hand observations of bilingual communities and individuals, and applying theories and empirical evidence to an in-depth study of a bilingual individual.
