Abstract:<br><br>
This book brings together current research by leading international scholars on <br>the often contentious nature of language policies and their practical outcomes in <br>North America, Australia and Europe. It presents a range of perspectives from <br>
which to engage with a variety of pressing issues raised by multilingualism, <br>multiculturalism, immigration, exclusion, and identity. A recurrent theme is that <br>of tension and conflict: between uniformity and diversity, between official <br>
policies and real day-to-day life experiences, but also between policies in <br>schools and the corporate world and their implementation. Several chapters <br>present research about language policy issues that has previously not been fully <br>
or easily available to an English-language audience. Many of the chapters also <br>provide up-to-date analyses of language policy issues in particular regions or <br>countries, focusing on recent developments. <br><br>
