Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

The course focuses on the study of language, considering it both as a subject of examination and as a tool for acquiring and shaping knowledge, ideologies, and power dynamics within the realm of education and society. It commences by introducing prevailing notions of language, whether scientific or folk, that are presented as products of socio-historical contexts and influence our understanding of language's role in education. The course proceeds to contrast the predominant structuralist tradition in linguistics, which treats language as an autonomous object, with the functionalist and social traditions that regard language as a social system for constructing and sharing meaning. Drawing from these alternative perspectives, the course then explores specific issues relevant to education.

In an era marked by globalization and multiculturalism within modern nation-states, languages and populations are in a state of constant flux. Both children and adults require integration into educational systems that, despite their long-standing exposure to multilingual and multicultural demographics over the past three decades, appear to have undergone limited transformation in terms of their approach to these populations and their commitment to providing Education for All. Particular attention is given to how language curricula have traditionally been structured to favor a standardized national language, perpetuate social inequalities, and enforce monolingual ideologies. These issues collectively define a sociolinguistic approach to education and establish the groundwork for nurturing a new multilingual ethos among all individuals engaged in the educational process.
