Sociolinguistics is part of linguistics courses whose aims, among others, are to develop the linguistic awareness of the students, to give knowledge on language functions and how they influence the speakers, to develop students’ understanding on language varieties in their own society as well as others’ and to develop students’ ability in interpreting other people’s speech.

By the end of the course, students are expected to obtain sufficient understanding on the concepts and practices of Sociolinguistics by:

• analyzing all the concepts or theories discussed
• presenting their comprehension on the concepts or theories in group and class presentation and discussion
• selecting and using the concepts or theories for answering analytical questions
• putting relevant concepts or theories for solving case studies or problems in Sociolinguistics

This course presents an introduction to Sociolinguistics. Sociolinguistics is a discipline within the field of linguistics concerned with the relation of human language and the society. Sociolinguists are broadly concerned with examining how our understanding of language can be informed through a consideration of the social contexts in which language is produced and interpreted. After the course, students are expected to have an adequate knowledge on (1) the interconnection among languages, culture, and society; (2) the functions of language in society; (3) the cultural and social bases for the variations of language; and (4) the way to conduct an observation on the language phenomena in today’s society.

Students are expected to meet the following objectives:

- to develop an awareness of many of the sub-disciplines within the field of sociolinguistics

- to gain a broad-based understanding of the key concepts within this field

- to gain a better understanding of how language and society are related

- to have a better understanding of the theoretical foundations underlying the field

- to link together the different areas of sociolinguistic study

- to introduce to the students the phenomena in the society that are within the concern of sociolinguistics

- to trigger students to find various topics that are within the concern of this study, that are also potential for thesis writing idea
