Synopsis: In this unit, students will explore different aspects of identity as related to language. Due to the exponential growth of immigration to developed countries, various speech communities have been created in those countries1. As you can see, language and identity have been debatable issues with the increase in immigration. We can define identity through different aspects; however, this curriculum will focus on the language part only. In fact, there are a few topics related to language and identity. The language we learn growing up is undeniably related to our identity. For example, I speak Ewe because I was born and raised in Togo in West Africa. As immigrants in the United States, the ultimate question we ask when we hear a random stranger speak the same language as us, is: “Are you from Togo?” We wouldn’t ask that question if we didn’t know that Ewe people can be from Togo. Thus, Ewe is a part of the Togolese identity. Not only we will learn about the notion of identity, but also, we will discuss how our identity can be related to the language we speak. This unit will take approximately four weeks.
