Looking for the best course to graduate with?

Why is it important that we speak and write in Standard English? What would go “wrong” if we don’t? What is our attitude toward people who speak English with an “accent”? And are there any correlations between people’s “accents” and our positive or negative attitudes towards them? If so, what are they? And can there be any political factors playing a role? 

In Language & Community: Learning While Serving (ENGL 4371), we will theorize about such controversial topics, as we learn about multiculturalism and language in the Southwest U.S. and perform an internship in the local community. 

This course has a service-learning component, and this means that students will apply what they learn in the classroom to what they actually do in a community-based teaching project sponsored by Literacy Lubbock, a United Way non-profit organization whose goal is to create a more literate community.
