ABSTRACT
Understanding language in any given social context depends upon a student's abilities to see the relationships between their own life, language and society. Through reading and writing and the continuous study of linguistic frameworks our students will gain skills and confidence that allow them to assert their understandings of language and gender. The aim of gender-neutral language is to remove assumptions about the roles of gender groups. When studying language and gender stress caution at all times. It becomes very tempting for us as teachers and our students to let our subjectivities guide our readings. Language and power is a topic that gets our students' analytical skills targeted towards some of the most significant questions they will engage with on the course. Languages are also repositories of history. Once a language is lost to us, then the past becomes detached.
