Abstract:<br><br>
This book examines the ideological underpinnings of
language-in-education policies that explicitly focus on adding a new
language to the learners' existing repertoire. It examines policies for
foreign languages, immigrant languages, indigenous languages and
external language spread. Each of these contexts provides for different
possible relationships between the language learner and the target
language group and shows how in different polities different
understandings influence how policy is designed. The book develops a
theoretical account of language policies as discursive constructions of
ideological positions and explicates how ideologies are developed
through an examination of case studies from a range of countries. Each
chapter in this book takes the form of a series of three in-depth case
studies in which policies relating to a particular area of
language-in-education policy are examined. Each case examines the
language of policy texts from a critical perspective to deconstruct how
intercultural relationships are projected.<br><br><a href="http://linguistlist.org/issues/24/24-1629.html">http://linguistlist.org/issues/24/24-1629.html</a><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>**************************************<br>
