How do language policies in schools create inequalities among
learners? How do policies marginalize some students while granting
privilege to others? How do language policies in education serve
the interests of dominant groups within societies? How can
linguistic minorities further their interests through attempts to
change language policies in schools? This new edition of Language
Policies in Education takes a fresh look at these enduring
questions at the heart of fundamental debates about the role of
schools in society, the links between education and employment, and
conflicts between linguistic minorities and "mainstream"
populations. Reflecting developments in language policy since the
publication of the first edition in 2002, all chapters are original
and substantial contributions to the study of language policy and
exemplify major theories and research methods in the field. Chapter
authors are major scholars in language policy and critical language
studies. The case studies, international in scope, present
cutting-edge analyses of important language policy debates in
countries around the world.
