Abstract
Philips’ work on the multi-sidedness of language ideologies provides us with a guide for how to teach students about language ideologies (what they are, how they function, and how we can identify and counteract their effects). Using her scholarship in our courses enables us to directly engage students with the ways in which facts of linguistic differentiation are inextricably connected to inequalities of power, resources, repertoires, and values. Beyond its theoretical productivity and explanatory power for a wide range of sociolinguistic behaviors, however, Philips’ work also provides models for our own classroom practice, where multi-sited language ideologies and linguistic differentiation are inescapable features of our teaching and learning contexts. In this paper, I document a range of my own classroom practices in multiple educational contexts, all of which are inspired by or connected to Susan Philips’ scholarship, to demonstrate the potential of her thought for teaching and learning about language.
