This book explores the development of multilingual policy in
education in Nepal in sociopolitical and historical contexts and
examines the frameworks of language use in schools. It investigates
the dynamics and factors that influence the process of construction
and appropriation of the policy of multilingualism in education.
The book surveys the language situation in schools and discusses
how it is impacted by local language positions, societal power
relations, ideological and identity contestations, and the
attitude, language behaviour and resistance of key actors. It
highlights the role of pedagogy, linguistics and politics that
govern the policy of multilingual education. The author assesses
the prospects of a multilingual approach to learning via teacher
preparation, curriculum and learning material development,
coordination of actors and institutions, and resources available in
schools. The book presents Nepal’s linguistic background while
discussing how multilingualism in education recognises local
languages to improve the quality of learning in classrooms in
ethnolinguistic communities. Evaluating the use of local languages
in classrooms, it explores monolingual, multilingual and language
maintenance frameworks of multilingualism in education. This book
will be of interest to teachers, students, and researchers of
education and educational studies, linguistics, sociology of
education, school education, language studies, sociolinguistics,
language policy and planning, public administration,
ethnolinguistics, and sociology of language. It will also be useful
to educationists, policymakers, linguists, sociolinguists and those
working in related areas.
