Abstract:
A brief narrative description of the journal article, document, or
resource. While theoretical conceptualizations of language policy have
grown increasingly rich, empirical data that test these models are
less common. Further, there is little methodological guidance for
those who wish to do research on language policy interpretation and
appropriation. The ethnography of language policy is proposed as a
method which makes macro-micro connections by comparing critical
discourse analyses of language policy with ethnographic data
collection in some local context. A methodological heuristic is
offered to guide data collection and sample data are presented from
the School District of Philadelphia. It is argued that critical
conceptualizations of educational language policy should be combined
with empirical data collection of policy appropriation in educational
settings.
