another terminology conundrum with my Socio students coming from multiple disciplines: Multilingualism and Plurilingualism (a term I've not heard before). It seems that plurilingual refers to the individual user, versus multilingual describes institution/place?

the definition being, "understanding of the social, political, and ideological aspects of language," to me, is pretty much an acknowledgement, and I am struggling to figure out how it is a framework... and also the term in terms of definition seems potentially synonymous with sociolinguistics..
I have students in my UG/grad mixed Sociolinguistics class, from multiple fields, and they have been bringing up Critical Language Awareness (CLA), which I haven't been faced with til now... and upon researching it myself so that I can engage with them, I am left wondering what the point is?
