Language and the City
One of the socially and culturally most significant consequences of transnational mobility is that urban populations in particular are increasingly multilingual: in global cities such as London, New York and Berlin there are speakers of hundreds of different languages. The encounters between these many languages and their speakers result in new linguistic practices and behaviours (both in face to face interaction and in all forms of mediated language use), new experiences with language, and multiple visual impacts on the physical environment. This module considers ways in which different patterns of language use impact on life in the contemporary city and encourages you to investigate them for yourself. -

Language ideologies in a globalising world
This module presents ideologies of English and other languages in the changing world where globalisation and the unprecedented spread of English are significant factors. It offers the opportunities of studying language ideologies in an extensive, comprehensive and systematic way. It uses examples from around the world, with particular focus on East Asia as a representative point from which the understanding of language ideologies is concretised. It also invites insights from various contexts to enable comparison and contrast in terms of how language ideologies are enacted in language policy, practice, and identity. You will be guided to explore a perspective from Global Englishes and make sense of core issues centred on language ideologies foregrounded by the globalisation of English.
Through this module, you will develop knowledge of language ideology theories, and critical thinking about language realities in their own contexts. You will learn to understand language ideologies embedded in different language realities, and deal with language-related issues in academic, professional, and social settings in an informed manner. -

Language Testing and Assessment in Society
This module develops awareness of how language testing and assessment have developed in educational and wider social contexts. It focusses on both purposes and processes of language testing and assessment, and critically examines applications in policy areas such as education, employability, migration, and citizenship. It examines the issues involved in making judgements about language proficiency for these purposes. It also explores the theoretical foundations for making judgements in different settings, and the skills required by both testers and test-takers. In this module, you will have opportunities to consider aspects of the role of English as a global language, issues of social justice and equality of opportunity, and the development of digital technologies in language testing and assessment.
