Peace Linguistics in the Classroom.

Peace Linguistics (PL) has, in some ways, been around for many years. However, most applied linguists do not appear to have ever heard of PL much less studied, researched or taught it. In recent years, especially in 2017 and 2018, that has started to changed, beginning with what appears to be the first PL course of its kind ever to be taught. That course was taught at Brigham Young University--Hawaii (BYUH), offered by the English Language Teaching and Learning Department, initially as an elective, with no prerequisites, then offered in conjunction with the BYUH Peacebuilding program. One of the questions that has been asked with increasing frequency in recent years is: What does Peace Linguistics look like in the classroom, with students, teachers and course materials, as well as with assignments and assessments? This paper provides initial answers to those questions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
