Medium of instruction policies in education have considerable
impact not only on the school performance of students and the daily
work of teachers, but also on various forms of social and economic
(in)equality. In many multiethnic and multilingual countries, the
choice of a language for the medium of instruction in state
educational systems raises a fundamental and complex educational
question: what combination of instruction in students' native
language(s) and in a second language of wider communication will
ensure that students gain both effective subject-content education,
as well as the second-language skills necessary for higher
education and employment? Beyond this educational issue of choice
of language(s) of instruction, medium of instruction policies are
also linked to a range of important sociopolitical issues,
including globalization, migration, labor policy, elite
competition, and the distribution of economic resources and
political power. The contributors to this volume examine the
tension between the educational agendas and other social and
political agendas underlying medium of instruction policies in
different countries around the world, and unravel the connections
between these policies and the related, critically important
educational, social, political, and economic issues. Medium of
Instruction Policies: Which Agenda? Whose Agenda? is intended for
scholars and specialists in education, language policy,
sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, and language teaching, and
is intended for use in graduate and advanced undergraduate courses
on language education and language policy.
