Abstract:

Set in Malaysia, this book encompasses language and cultural policy challenges
that many other multi-ethnic nations currently have to address. The people of
Malaysia constitute a diverse ethnic, linguistic and cultural population, and
one of the continuing challenges is the development and establishment of the
Malaysian people’s ethnic, national and global cultural identities. This
challenge is evident in the journey of language and cultural policy from the
post-independence period to the 21st century; a period of over 50 years. The
book highlights political, socio-cultural, economic and knowledge economy
factors as they impact on decisions made by the government with regard to
language policy in the various educational systems. It examines decisions made
on the selection of the national language, the medium of instruction in
educational systems, the varying changes in language policy for the field of
science and technology and the maintenance and sustenance of minority
languages.
