<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"> Rapid globalisation and mass migration have ensured that ethnic,
religious, linguistic and cultural diversity now characterises most
societies; in fact only a handful can be described as ethnolinguistically
homogenous. Many societies can now be characterised by the phenomenon
known as super-diversity (Vertovec, 2007), a term describing a scale of
transnational migration, sociocultural complexity and ethnolinguistic
identification that has never been seen before. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"> Yet relatively few language education policies have attempted to
accommodate multilingualism. Despite research evidence pointing to the social
and cognitive benefits that accrue from multilingualism, most language
education policies are oriented towards standard languages and tend to serve
the interests of dominant groups rather than those of minorities. In
post-colonial contexts, most policies have focused on the promotion of
proficiency in the former colonial language(s) and/or a dominant local lingua
franca in formal schooling.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"> Recent overviews of the field emphasise the distinction between
macro, meso and micro level planning activities and stress the importance of
human agency in language policymaking and planning. Others distinguish
between top-down to bottom-up planning. This special issue hopes to bring
together contributions from researchers in different geographic and
linguistic contexts to explore how various actors have responded to
linguistic diversity in education at macro, meso or micro levels and from top
down or bottom up perspectives. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"> We invite papers that discuss language policy and planning responses
to multilingualism in different educational settings. Contributions that make
critical evaluations of language policy and its implementation in any sector
of education in any part of the world are welcome, as are papers that deal
with standard, non-standard, heritage, indigenous, community and immigrant
languages, minority and/or contact languages in education. Topics may include
but are not limited to the following:</span></p><ul><li><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Education policy and planning
