Adopting a Critical Sociolinguistic Approach to Language Pedagogy in a Multilingual World

Sponsored by:
Academic Programs - MIIS

Abstract: Across languages, prescriptive ideologies have traditionally been used to teach language classes. Nevertheless, adhering strictly to a prescriptive perspective in the teaching of formal, standard, and/or “academic” language without questioning its ideological and discriminatory function leads to the reproduction of a deficit perspective, in which those who use alternative varieties of the language are considered academically deficient.
