Course description
In this course we will discuss various way of constructing and representing gender identity in language. We will look at educational and social situations where gender practices are manifested. Different views regarding language and gender in various educational contexts will be explored, such as gender in textbooks, in classroom discourse, in everyday discourse, in children's literature, etc. The course will raise awareness and will provide tools for teachers in their choice of teaching materials, in class preparation, and in their attitudes towards pupils during class. Course discussions will touch upon students' daily experiences and will be particularly enriched, if both men and women enroll.
