Del 93 - Bilingual Education & Bilingualism
Language Planning and Student Experiences
Intention, Rhetoric and Implementation
Häftad, Engelska, 2013
394 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This book is a timely comparison of the divergent worlds of policy implementation and policy ambition, the messy, often contradictory here-and-now reality of languages in schools and the sharp-edged, shiny, future-oriented representation of languages in policy. Two deep rooted tendencies in Australian political and social life, multiculturalism and Asian regionalism, are represented as key phases in the country’s experimentation with language education planning. Presenting data from a five year ethnographic study combined with a 40 year span of policy analysis, this volume is a rare book length treatment of the chasm between imagined policy and its experienced delivery, and will provide insights that policymakers around the world can draw on.

Language Politics in Tunisia
A Study of Language Ideological Debates
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
1 689 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This book offers both an empirical examination of language ideologies and language policies in post-Arab Spring Tunisia and a detailed critical and interdisciplinary model of Language Policy and Planning (LPP). The authors present a comprehensive picture of how multiple language ideologies interact and play out as language policy against a background of political turmoil in a country with a complex history of indigenous and colonial languages. They utilise critical perspectives from Sociolinguistics and Applied Linguistics and add Critical Discourse Studies and a Discourse-Historical Approach to produce a model of LPP for scholars in other settings to describe and work to improve their own specific language contexts.

Del 6 - Critical Language and Literacy Studies
China and English
Globalisation and the Dilemmas of Identity
Häftad, Engelska, 2009
407 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
It has been said there are more Chinese learning English than there are Americans. We all have a sense that the first decades of the third millennium, including the effects of the global financial recession, signal dramatic changes to the shape of the world to come. China’s emergence as a superpower is one of the few certainties in this rapidly changing world. What is less well realised is the critical role which China’s decisions about English will play in the world’s communication profile. This unique volume explores this question looking at the debates on identity, cultural values and communication practices. Taking a wide-ranging view and uniquely blending both Chinese and Western perspectives the volume explores the critically important cultural consequences of mass English learning in today’s world.

Supporting the Learning of Chinese as a Second Language: Implications for Language Education Policy
Inbunden, Engelska, 2024

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The research in this volume takes account of the context of policy promoting Chinese as a second language (CSL) in several countries and regions, (Australia, East Asia and South-East Asia), and the wider social context of multilingual and multicultural societies.Furthermore, this book reports results of two research studies which investigated how to develop effective strategies to promote learners’ motivation and the motivational developments of adult learners in real-life settings, helping to overcome gaps in this under-researched area.Findings reported in this book have been scientifically examined and found to be effective in enhancing the learners’ CSL proficiency, increasing their learning motivation, and addressing the need for a diversity of targeted approaches to CSL. Most are applicable across preschool to secondary levels. The theoretical grounding of this research work represents a new direction for research in teaching Chinese as a second language.

Sri Lankan Lessons
Reimagining Ethnic Habitus through Language Policy and Education
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
1 485 kr
Kommande
This book analyses the post-conflict reality of language policy and planning in Sri Lanka. It examines and interprets how socio-politically and economically driven decisions, shaped by both exogenous and endogenous factors, have demonstrably generated negative socially situated conditions that exacerbate existing struggles in state-building in Sri Lanka. The book takes a kaleidoscopic view of the mixed implications of mother-tongue instruction and bilingual education through application of a Bourdieusian lens.In light of the legacies and influence of the bitter civil disruptions of the latter part of the 20th century, especially a 30 year-long ethnic conflict in which language education settings were a regular feature of dissent and conflict, compromise and innovation, the volume looks at Language Policy and Planning in education, with reference to the wider socio-political context of ethnic relations and post-colonial reconstruction.This book is of interest to sociologists of language, education and peacebuilding, conflict analysts, development studies personnel and political scientists, as well as university students, linguistic anthropologists, researchers, and language policy planners.

Learning from Difference: Comparative Accounts of Multicultural Education
Inbunden, Engelska, 2016

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book analyses the experiences of multicultural education in nine very different international settings uncovering insights from a vast variety of educational contexts. Taking a multi-critical approach in reporting and discussing problems faced by increasingly multicultural and multilingual societies the nine case studies reflect radically different assumptions about what counts as ‘ difference’ and what should be the appropriate ways for education systems to respond to differences. While each country’s approach seems unique, analysis of the divergent treatments of internal population diversity elicits a genuinely global instance of the increasingly shared phenomenon of cultural pluralism. Discussing various successes and failures of policy enactment, theory, pedagogy and management of diversity, the book isolates both the differences and similarities in the unique geopolitical and socio-historical contexts of the countries investigated. A key valueof the book is that it greatly expands the range of settings, experiences, epistemologies, ontologies and practical experiences that are typically encountered in mainstream discussion of what counts as 'multicultural education'. In effect, all societies are in some way ‘dealing with difference’ – this volume helps widen the scope of reflection and thus facilitates increased, global ‘learning from difference’.
