Abstract:

A brief narrative description of the journal article, document, or
resource. This paper stresses the importance of enacting positive
transformation in language policy and planning in the United States as
delineated by the idea of radical localism and supported by a critical
pedagogy of place. Initially, I ask the following questions: Does NCLB
impact opportunities for English language learners to take part in
their communities and transform their surroundings as well as their
overall education? Given the U.S. history in language policy issues,
how should language policy be framed in order to inform ELL
instruction? I draw on sociocultural theory and critical pedagogy to
frame my arguments as well as language policies from UNESCO and the
African National Congress.
