Description

Development planner
	

Development planners are involved in planning for disadvantaged
communities, both urban and rural. They formulate policies, strategies
and programmes to meet the needs of these communities. Development
planners are drawn from a wide range of disciplines including social
sciences, town and regional planning, architecture and education
amongst others.

Language policy advisor
	

A language policy advisor provides information necessary for the
formulation of a language policy. He or she is a specialist in
language issues as they affect different groupings in the population.
A language policy advisor may make recommendations to educational
institutions, government departments and public broadcasters who all
need to make decisions concerning language policy. Specialisation in
languages, literature, philosophy, social sciences and education will
provide a useful base to enter this field.

Policy planner, language
	

A policy planner formulates the policy governing language. A policy
determines the manner in which language and language issues will be
treated in a given community, region or country. He or she consults
with organisations and individuals so that the policy reflects their
needs. A language policy planner may work for educational
institutions, government departments and public broadcasters who all
need to make decisions concerning language policy.
