Hornberger, Nancy H.
Nancy Hughes Hornberger (b. 1951) is an internationally recognized scholar in language planning and policy, bilingual education, and biliteracy.
Ecology and Multilingual Education
The ecology of language has its foundation in the work of sociolinguists and linguistic anthropologists in the late 1950s and early 1960s
Agency and structure in language policy
Over the past two decades, there has been increasing focus in language policy and planning (LPP) research on the role of agency. Along with this foregrounding of agency, there has been a tendency to background social structures, including the interplay of structure and agency around LPP processes. Accordingly, drawing on findings from the analysis of recent reports produced by the United Nations Joint Inspection Unit pertaining to multilingual po…
Discursive ripple effects in language policy and practice
The advancement of English as an instrument for the internationalization of higher education has foregrounded English as an academic lingua franca (EALF), and the case of China is no exception. This study focuses on the process by which EALF has been interpreted and negotiated across university policies and local practices in China’s internationalized higher education. Drawing upon nexus analysis and multisource data, the study traced the discurs…
Translanguaging for intercultural communication in international higher education
This article seeks to explore intercultural communication among a group of students with diverse linguistic and sociocultural backgrounds in an English-medium transnational university in China, focusing on multilingual students’ practices and perceptions of English as a lingua franca (ELF). Informed by an expanded understanding of translanguaging from a spatial perspective, this study explores multilingualism, multimodality, and spatiality in lin…
Toward a Unified Theory of Language Development
Type A SLA researchers' detached scrutiny of closely observed learner utterances between classroom walls has little in common with the vast prairies of attested wording seen from the air by the high-flying aircraft of Type B corpus linguistics, and neither have much in common with the intensely cultivated undergrowth so carefully explored by Type C linguistic ethnographers on the ground. It is true—but surely also trite—to say that all three yiel…
Spectacular language and creative marketing in a Singapore tailor shop
A tailor shop located in Singapore’s Chinatown is explored as a case of creative linguistic marketing practice, examining how such practice can be understood in relation to the interaction of local and global forces on the linguistic landscape. The shop uses a range of Scandinavian semiotic resources (language and artefacts) which for us, coming upon the shop, seemed unexpected or, using Sweetland’s term, spectacular. Following in the spirit of l…
Foreign language education policy on the horizon
Language policy has developed into a major area of research that continues to expand and develop. This article examines potential directions for cross‐pollination between the fields of language policy and foreign language education. First, publication trends are examined. Database searches were conducted for the journals Foreign Language Annals, Modern Language Journal, Current Issues in Language Planning, Language Policy , and Language Problems …
More than a lingua franca
The Swedish educational policy for upper secondary English, which took effect in 2011 and adopts a globalised perspective on language, is explored with respect to how skills and awareness related to local, national, and international roles of English are represented in policy documents. A discourse analytic approach to language policy is used to offer a critical reading of the national syllabus for English, the accompanying guide and commentary o…
Discursive mechanisms and human agency in language policy formation
In the wake of the enactment of Sweden's Language Act in 2009 and in the face of the growing presence of English, Swedish universities have been called upon by the Swedish Higher Education Authority to craft their own language policy documents. This study focuses on the discursive negotiation of institutional bilingualism by a language policy committee at one Swedish university during the process of developing a draft language policy. Following a…
Global flows in local language planning
In this paper, the language policies of three Swedish universities are examined as instances of language planning in local contexts. Although Sweden has the national Language Act of 2009 (SFS 2009:600) as well as a general Higher Education Ordinance (SFS 1993:100; SFS 2014:1096), language planning for higher education is left to the purview of individual institutions. Since language planning in local contexts often involves the intersection of lo…
Covert Bilingualism and Symbolic Competence
Bilinguals often face the challenge of negotiating a range of insider/outsider subject positions when interacting in transnational and intercultural settings. This article takes up the concept of symbolic competence, the awareness of socially situated symbolic resources and the ability to use them to shape inter-actional contexts, to examine how the author, a Swedish–English bilingual, manages this negotiation. Drawing on principles of the ethnog…
Drive-thru linguistic landscaping
Despite the rich societal multilingualism of the United States, the ideological construction of English dominance continues to cast a shadow over other languages. Among the mechanisms that contribute to this state of affairs (e.g. educational policy and conservative language activism), visual language use in public spaces plays a salient role. A growing body of linguistic landscape research highlights the centrality of visual environments in the …
Shaping discourses of multilingualism through a language ideological debate
The ideological (re)construction of the position of Swedish in Finland is examined as it took shape during a major year-long debate about the role of Swedish in Finnish education. Data were collected through archival research of the leading national newspapers in the two official languages of Finland:Helsingin Sanomat(Finnish) andHufvudstadsbladet(Swedish). Circulating and intersecting discourses in newspaper texts are traced in order to examine …
English as a Transcultural Language in Swedish Policy and Practice
The globalization of English in Sweden is examined as it takes shape in educational policy and practice. Following in the tradition of a “new wave” of language policy and planning research that emphasizes connections between policy and how it is interpreted by local stakeholders, this investigation focuses on textual data from Swedish national curricular documents and observational data of preservice English language educators during teacher trai…
The complexity turn in educational linguistics
In the wake of conversations about integrating macro- and micro-levels of linguistic analysis over the last 50 years, and following theoretical and methodological debates in the 1990s about investigating the dynamics of entire social systems, complexity theory is coming of age in educational linguistics. Central to the application of complexity theory in social science is its attention to multiple scales of social organisation and how they are co…
Swedish television as a mechanism for language planning and policy
The function of the public service broadcasting company Sveriges Television (Swedish Television) as a component of the Swedish ecology of language planning and policy is examined. Analysis of recent policy documents as well as data about television programming illuminates how television serves as a language planning mechanism. It is shown that television is explicitly framed as a tool for status planning through regulations about the relative pos…
Analysis of language policy discourses across the scales of space and time
The ecology of language has been put forward as a useful orientation to the holistic investigation of multilingual language policies because it draws attention to relationships among speakers, languages, policies, and social contexts at varying dimensions of social organization. As such, it is an orientation that stands to facilitate the integration of micro- and macro-sociolinguistic inquiry in language policy and planning (LPP); however, it is …
A Case of Prestige and Status Planning
The position of English vis-à-vis Swedish in Sweden is gaining attention because of a growing concern that the encroachment of English in certain domains may result in Swedish losing ground. A current language policy proposal, entitled Mål i mun, commissioned by the Swedish Government, addresses this concern, in part, by outlining recommendations for the respective roles of Swedish and English (1) in primary, secondary, and higher education and (…
Planning for Multilingualism and Minority Language Rights in Sweden
Shaping the climate for language shift? English in Sweden's elite domains
This paper investigates how and to what degree English is used in specific elite domains in Sweden through analysis of (1) language requirements to participate in undergraduate and graduate programs at competitive institutions; and (2) language qualifications and language use patterns in elite professions. We find that English is used pervasively, but not exclusively. The paper also explores to what extent these language use patterns in elite dom…
