    Course Description
    The course is concerned with the study of language in teaching and learning and it is a
    subfield of Applied Linguistics. It is focused primarily on analysing and solving concrete
    problems that stem from language in educational contexts by relying on the findings in
    theoretical linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, anthropology and
    sociology. The course offers an overview of basic issues in this transdisciplinary field, an
    insight into a variety of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches as well as on
    the multitude of its possible applications. Special emphasis is put on discussing the processes
    of language acquisition and learning as well as on analysing the role of language policies that
    determine the place of language in education and different possibilities of language
    management in the context of formal education.
