Abstract:

This book examines the role of English within education and society in the
quickly changing city of Macau. Macau’s multilingual language ecology offers
the unique opportunity to examine language planning and policy issues within a
small speech community. The languages within the ecology include several
Chinese varieties, such as Cantonese, Putonghua and Hokkien, European
languages like Portuguese and English, and a number of Asian languages that
include, among others, Burmese, Filipino languages, Japanese, Timorese, etc.
As the smallest city in South China's Pearl River Delta, Macau has sought to
maintain cultural and linguistic independence from its larger neighbours, and
independence has been built upon an historic commitment to multilingualism and
cultural plurality. As economic development and globalisation offer new
opportunities to a growing middle class, the sociolinguistics of a small
society constrain and influence the language policies that the territory seeks
to implement. Macau's multilingual and pluralistic response to language needs
within the territory echoes historical responses to similar challenges and
suggests that small communities function sociolinguistically in ways that
differ from larger communities.
