This first book provides a comprehensive overview of the different
levels of players who have been involved in both intended and
unintended language planning and policy, and shows how they have
impacted multilingual language use. Specifically, it looks at the
roles of different 'glo-national' (global national) players in
directing the choices of language use in various parts of the
world. Drawing on topics from numerous countries i.e., Basque
country, Brazil, China, Europe, France, Germany, Japan, Malaysia,
North Korea, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Turkey,
Vietnam, United Arab Emirates and the United States of America,
this book showcases the complexity of language planning. The book
not only provides examples to illustrate how globalisation has led
to an increase in demand in learning English in many countries, it
brings in other examples to demonstrate how globalisation has also
promoted language diversity in other countries as well. Using the
four stages of language planning framework - Supra Macro, Macro,
Micro and Infra Micro levels of language planning, the book
discusses the tension that surrounds the global, national and local
demands on language choice, and presents the possible outcomes of
the various intended and unintended policies, and strategies
adopted by the different players found in these four stages of
planning. The aim of the book is to highlight the importance of
aligning the supra and macro levels of planning with the micro and
infra macro levels of planning in any language planning in order to
obtain positive outcomes.
