General objective:
The Summer School aims to attract postgraduate students from several countries and to offer them state-of-the-art training to study the theoretical, methodological and practical foundations of Linguistic Policy, Linguistic Planning and Linguistic Policy Evaluation. It will also be a space for meeting, communication, collaboration and exchange of ideas between researchers working in linguistic policy, language planning and evaluation.

Specific objectives:

  *   Analyzing and discuss the national and international linguistic situation from the point of view of Linguistic Justice and Linguistic Planning.
  *   Explaining the proposed solutions to situations of injustice and linguistic imbalance, at both national and international level.
  *   Preparing the professionals to understand the requirements of multilingual societies, with special emphasis on Costa Rican situation.
  *   Systematizing, for dissemination purposes, the analysis and discussion of activities in favor of the strengthening of linguistic rights.
  *   Improving the effectiveness and the efficiency of language policies.

The Summer School will consist of four parts:

  1.  Overview of LPP (Language Policy and Planning). History, objectives and outputs of LPP. It will be presented by Dr. David Cassels Johnson, University of Iowa: “Language Policy and Planning: Theory, Method, and Findings.”
  2.  Evaluation of language policies. This part is necessary to identify the effectiveness of LPP and thus measure it in various fields of social and economic life. It will be presented by Dr. Michele Gazzola, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin: “Evaluation in Language Policy and Planning (LPP).”
  3.  Interlinguistic. The study of planned languages is also part of LPP and is an adequate contribution to the Summer School. Interlinguistics also studies the human relationships that take place through planned languages. This is a subject that is necessarily related to the inequality between languages, that is to say, Linguistic Justice. It will be presented by Dr. Federico Gobbo, University of Amsterdam: “Interlinguistics as extreme language planning: categories and cases.”
  4.  Problems of planning in languages in process of displacement. It will be presented by Dr. Carlos Sánchez Avendaño, University of Costa Rica: “Problems of planning in languages in process of displacement.”
