This is an in depth analysis of the linguistic issues surrounding
civic integration and citizenship in nation states across the
world. What is required to achieve civic integration and
citizenship in nation states across the world? Should language
testing be a part of it? This book addresses the urgent need to
develop a fuller conceptual and theoretical basis for language
testing than is currently available, to enable widespread
discussion of this theme and the concomitant linguistic and
cultural requirements. The policy proposals for civic integration
have so far been conducted almost entirely at a national level, and
with little regard for the experiences of countries with long
traditions of migration, such as the USA, Canada, the UK or
Australia. At the same time, EU enlargement and the ongoing rise in
the rate of migration into and across Europe suggest that these
issues will continue to grow in importance. This book raises the
level of discussion to take account of international developments
and to promote a more coherent and soundly based debate. It will
appeal to researchers and academics working in sociolinguistics and
language education, as well as those working on language policy.
"The Advances in Sociolinguistics" series seeks to provide a
snapshot of the current diversity of the field of sociolinguistics
and the blurring of the boundaries between sociolinguistics and
other domains of study concerned with the role of language in
society.
