Language planning and multilingual education
Editors for this issue: Kerry Taylor-Leech & Tony Liddicoat

Rapid globalisation and mass migration have ensured that ethnic, religious, 
linguistic and cultural diversity now characterises most societies; in fact only 
a handful can be described as ethnolinguistically homogenous.  Many 
societies can now be characterised by the phenomenon known as super-
diversity (Vertovec, 2007), a term describing a scale of transnational 
migration, sociocultural complexity and ethnolinguistic identification that has 
never been seen before. 

Yet relatively few language education policies have attempted to 
accommodate multilingualism. Despite research evidence pointing to social 
and cognitive benefits that accrue from multilingualism, most language 
education policies are oriented towards standard languages and tend to serve 
the interests of dominant groups rather than those of minorities. In post-
colonial contexts, most policies have focused on the promotion of proficiency 
in the former colonial language(s) and/or a dominant local lingua franca in 
formal schooling.

Recent overviews of the field emphasise the distinction between macro, 
meso and micro level planning activities and stress the importance of human 
agency in language policymaking and planning. Others distinguish between 
top-down to bottom-up planning. This special issue hopes to bring together 
contributions from researchers in different geographic and linguistic contexts 
to explore how various actors have responded to linguistic diversity in 
education at macro, meso or micro levels and from top down or bottom up 
perspectives. 

We invite papers that discuss language policy and planning responses to 
multilingualism in different educational settings. Contributions that make 
critical evaluations of language policy and its implementation in any sector of 
education in any part of the world are welcome, as are papers that deal with 
standard, non-standard, heritage, indigenous, community and immigrant 
languages, minority and/or contact languages in education. Topics may 
include but are not limited to:

-  Education policy and planning approaches to language maintenance and 
the promotion of multilingualism
-  Policy and planning relating to multilingualism and multiliteracies
-  Educational policy and planning in officially multilingual countries and/or 
regions
-  The consequences of policies privileging dominant language(s) as subjects 
and/or medium of instruction on multilingual and literacy education
-  Intended and unintended consequences of policies for multilingual learners
-  Language attitudes and ideologies among policymakers, social actors and 
stakeholders
-  Teachers' responses to language policy treatments of multilingual learners
-  The educational impacts of medium of instruction policies on multilingual 
learners
-  The educational impacts of institutional language policies on multilingual 
learners
-  Education for all and other global strategies and their impacts on 
multilingual learners
-  Multilingual education policy and planning and language rights
-  The role of supra-national organisations in promoting multilingualism in 
education.
-  The policy treatment of minority/ indigenous, community or immigrant 
languages
-  How actors and agents are taking on the notion of super-diversity in 
education language planning
