Multiculturalism in the UK eksamensemne
Multiculturalism - a blessing or a curse?
Som en del af kernestoffet 'væsentlige historiske, kulturelle og samfundsmæssige forhold i Storbritannien og USA, er fokus for dette forløb 'multiculturalism in the UK' og forløbet har et pædagogisk sigte at få en masse mundtlighed ind i gruppearbejdet. Forløbet har hovedsageligt handlet om hvordan immigration har ledt til at mange nu taler MLE (multicultural London English), og hvordan selv hvide briter har taget dette til sig og hvordan det er blevet spredt. Eleverne har lyttet til eksempler på MLE og hvordan det udtales og hvorfor.
Forløbet vil blive afsluttet med en introduktion til Lingua Franca, hvor vi bla. vil tale om fordelen og ulempen ved at anvende Lingua Franca, sproglige fordomme og om hvorvidt det er vigtigt overhovedet at kunne tale som 'a native speaker'.
Eleverne skal især arbejde med følgende begreber:
multiculturalisme
Power and prejudice
how accents tell more than stories
Hierarchy of accents
Cultural appreciation
Unconscious bias
Cultural collision
The power of communication
code switching
language as weapon against discrimination
British culture as the dominant culture
assimilation
salad bowl
push and pull factors
Lingua Franca (Lingua Franca betyder et sprog der bruges som fælles kommunikationsmiddel når to personer ikke taler det samme førstesprog (f.eks. hvis en dansker og en kineser taler sammen på engelsk, fordi danskeren ikke taler kinesisk og kineseren ikke taler dansk).
