comes into play in post-colonial discourse which later turn domination into hegemony; thus
what was once a forced colonialized object, is now a self-willing colonialized subject. Given
the nature of Indonesia’s historical facts, students are also encouraged to self-reflect on many
of their own cultural (id)entities and practices to better comprehend the working mechanisms
of (post-)colonial discourses.

PING6302 Sociolinguistics, 2 credits, 2 hours (required for ELL Program, elective for ELT
Program)
Prerequisite: PING6301
This course is designed to familiarize students with some knowledge of the
relationship between language and society, both at the micro level (the function of language
in individuals) and at the macro level. The emphasis is on the sociology of language and
aspects of behavior with which it is concerned: techniques used to investigate behavior, styles
of speech, discourse routines, verbal skills, dialects, mapping the distribution of dialect
features of different regions, and the relationship between vocabulary and the attitude of the
society that produces it. The course allows the students to explore the aforementioned topics

and work on mini research projects both individually and groups, employing ICT and all
resources available under the supervision of the course facilitator.
