Abstract

Sociolinguistics and the teaching of the language and culture of originSalto de línea Salto de línea This essay addresses language teaching as a key area over the schooling period. Recent developments in language teaching methodology have contributed to improve language teaching. The long-established belief that it was enough to merely know a language in order to teach it has given way to reflection on the significance of language teaching and learning. There is now a firm understanding that the process of language teaching and learning demands up-to-date knowledge as well as rigorous specialisation. It is essential to know the sociolinguistic, pedagogical and political factors that come into play in the acquisition of languages. Sociolinguistics and sociolinguistic issues are closely linked to the teaching and learning processes in language acquisition from a social perspective (where the language teaching policy of a community is defined); from a cultural perspective (where language is the instrument of communication between individuals and their surroundings) and from a communication perspective (where language is a basic tool for linguistic interaction).
