Sociolinguistics is a huge area- all language has a social context, and the relationships within the societies using that language are generally complex. In ESL, there are the relationships among native speakers and the social aspects among the learners. There is a need to raise learners cultural sensitivity about the target language and also to take into account their culture. It's related to pretty much every area of ESL teaching

You may want to use Google to research your homework assignment, have a conversation with your teacher or class mates.

Thank you twostep . in fact i did use GOOGLE and all I found were some links to web sites that are not very related to the topic . That is way I am asking the experts here to lead me to lead me to something more specific. thanks again

Narrow your search down. Let me know if you need help with boolean operators.
