A lesson with Elena Filipovska on Linguistic landscapes
Big thanks to Elena Filipovska, a Macedonian philologist and teacher of Macedonian for foreigners, for her time and willingness to deliver her excellent presentation on linguistic landscapes.
Both UCL SSEES Beginners and Upper Intermediate groups enjoyed it a lot.
Our linguistic landscape is the language that surrounds us (street signs, shop names, graffiti, snippets of conversation etc.). It’s up to us to assign meaning to all of that or to merely disregard it. If language learners raise their awareness of their linguistic landscape, they feel more at ease in the public space, they acquire vocabulary and basic grammar easier, and they dive deeper in the target language culture. ❤️
Thank you Elena! #Благодарам
