Description
This course introduces the concepts of multilingualism and plurilingualism, defines them and applies them to societies, situations and individuals where French is one of the languages present. Students will learn where and how the French language is represented across the world. They will also gain a better understanding of what it means for an individual to be plurilingual with French as one the languages, how this competence is acquired in child- or adulthood and how it might affect the process of identity formation.
The course offers an overview of multilingual states and societies where French coexists under varying forms, conditions and power relations with other languages. Models of language policy are introduced and exemplified across the French-speaking world. The course also offers an introduction to the plurilingual individual and discussions on the factors behind the acquisition of multiple languages across the lifespan and the nature of plurilingual identities where French is one of the languages. The course is both theoretical and practical. The student will carry out an individual project focusing on one of the aspects introduced during the course.
Note!
This course is not open as a freestanding course next semester. It can be open for application within a programme or for students in an exchange programme. Please ask your academic advisor for information.
How to apply
Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.
Extended application deadline
Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.
First or Second Admission Round?
All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.
The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.
Tuition Fees
