chapter reviews efforts to examine the construction and content of
media products, and the role of the mass media in the language
policymaking process, with a particular focus on framing in mass media
coverage. The authors first elaborate what they mean by the term
framing. Then they illustrate how the concept of framing can help
researchers to explore the media’s mediation of language policymaking in
three specific debates: the dialect crisis in China; high-stakes
English examinations in China; and medium of instruction policy, with
particular attention to the use of English, Cantonese, and Putonghua in
Hong Kong and the use of English and Spanish in the US state of Arizona.
The chapter concludes with suggestions for expanding research on the
role of mass media in language policymaking.</p></div><p class="gmail-keywords">
