PART ONE:
LANGUAGE IN CULTURAL CONTEXT
In this part of the course students are given the opportunity to explore how language develops in specific cultural contexts, how it impacts the world, and how language shapes both individual and group identity. Topics for stimulating approaches to the unit are listed below, each of which implies a range of vocabulary and writing styles with which students should become familiar.
Students studying this part of the course should pay particular attention to the role of language in relation to the many areas involved in the construction of meaning and understanding of particular issues in the world.
The study of language in cultural context aims to enable students to meet the following learning outcomes.
1. Analyse how audience and purpose affect the structure and content of texts. Areas to be considered could include:
- the use of persuasive language in political speechs
- the features of SMS messages
- postcolonial rereadings of texts
2. Analyse the impact of language changes. Points to be considered could include:
- the impact of electronic communication on meaning
- the influence of government policy
- the emergence of new vocabulary from the language of groups (for example, young people)
- the disappearance of vocabulary and of language themselves
3. Demonstrate an awareness of how language and meaning are shaped by culture and context. Points to be considered could include:
- the ways in which jargon and professional language are used
- the ways in which language affirms identity
- the status given to standard and non-standard forms of the language
- the status of minority languages in multilingual societies.
