EDLA620 English in a Socio-Cultural Context
10 cp
This unit introduces students to the impact of culture on learning. It compares different cultural conventions, celebrations and ways of life, values, education and schooling. How this impacts on student learning and what is studied in national curricula will be explored. In addition the unit allows students to examine the changes to local and national culture resulting from the spread of English and influences of Western culture. In particular, the impact of globalisation of English for intercultural communication and education will be examined from the perspective of the dynamics of cultural change.
