The Role of Sociolinguistics in English Teaching and How to Develop Sociolinguistics Competences of Future Teachers
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
Sociolinguistics is the branch of linguistics that studies the purposes and uses of language in society. It makes an effort to clarify how language varies across geographic boundaries and how people in one setting interact with those in another. However, the influence of sociolinguistics in English teaching is also very extensive, and it is indispensable for teachers to improve their sociolinguistics competencies if they want to better teach English. This paper draws on Bayyurt's research, links the three branches of language attitude, language and culture, and language planning and policy he mentioned with English teaching, and suggests social linguistics competencies future teachers can improve for better teaching. In the end, it was concluded that future teachers should improve their intercultural computer technology competence and the use of case study competence.
