    Credits: 3

    This course explores multicultural and multilingual issues in local and global educational and societal contexts. Being more common than not, multilingualism exists across the globe in a variety of contexts; students will explore studies in both local and global instances that demonstrate how people negotiate their multilingualism to achieve access and success. Students will draw connections between local to global language issues, and how, at times, the issue is resolved in one context but not the other. Finally, the course focuses on what research in multilingualism means for schools, classrooms, teachers, and teacher educators.
