In this course, you are learning about the role language plays in our daily lives, and the way in which language shapes and reflects our social and cultural lives. The textbook author, Dr. Laura Ahearn, chose the title of Living Language for the textbook because she wanted to communicate that language is an essential part of daily life, of living.

As you learn more about this subject, I am sure you are thinking about ways in which language plays a role in your own life, and the life of people all around you. Language also reflects something about the social relationships you have, and the cultural values that matter to you.  In this era we are living in, language’ central role in shaping and reflecting society has become very visible as well. 

The Final Essay will give you an opportunity to reflect on and explore these matters from your own perspective, and draw on your own lived experiences.
