Language Policy and Planning
The overview for the Language Policy and Planning section of The Encyclopedia of Applied Linguistics introduces language policy and planning as it is studied in applied linguistics. It covers the concepts, issues, and practices involved in planned, and sometimes unplanned, change and innovation in language and communication as they have occurred throughout the world. This overview shows some of the vast scope and importance of language planning a…
Role of Deliberation in Language Policy and Planning
In an early phase of modern language planning and policy analysis there was a major focus on the idea of language problems and how language specialists could offer governments and other agencies solutions to these language problems. Borrowing from management theory and public administration early language planning work proposed operational models for the field involving an ordered sequence of research to understand and interventions to solve lang…

Australia needs to make languages compulsory
Over many decades, governments and others have made commitments to increasing Australia's 'Asia literacy'.But is this goal being met?Has the growth in investment in language programs and language study seen in the 1980s resulted in lasting change, or is Australia still largely complacent about Asian language education?Professor Joe Lo Bianco, one of Australia's most respected experts in language education, says if Australia really wants to increa…
English language education in Singapore
The discourse of the edge
This contribution discusses some links between the linguistics and the economics of the spirit of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurialism. Whether it is individuals or various social groupings, or even entire societies, a review of policies promoting self-investment in language ability links to a neoliberal economic and political ethos of competition, advantage, meritocracy, innovation and risk-taking; and thereby instantiates an essentially exch…

Ideologies of sign language and their repercussions in language policy determinations
Resolving ethnolinguistic conflict in multi-ethnic societies
Introduction
A framework to examine vitality of languages in a specific context, developed by Francois Grin and elaborated by Joseph Lo Bianco, specifies that three conditions are necessary for language vitality and revitalization: Capacity Development, Opportunity Creation, and Desire (COD). This framework was developed as a tool to help communities and governments support regional and minority languages and to promote policy development at the national leve…
Language Policy and Planning
Human intervention to shape and direct both form and use of language must be as old as language itself, while by contrast the academic field analyzing conscious policy making or deliberate planning is very recent. Human societies have always been multilingual and language planning, whether overt and conscious or covert and implicit in other activity, has always existed.
The importance of language policies and multilingualism for cultural diversity
The article addresses the contribution of multilingualism to cultural diversity and the importance of explicit, comprehensive and public language planning to secure a stronger future for endangered indigenous and immigrant languages. It is critically important to develop language policies that ensure the access of minority populations to prestigious forms of national standard languages and literacies while supporting the intergenerational retenti…
Return of the Good Times? Japanese Teaching Today
This paper reviews the state of Japanese language teaching today, discussing ‘things to celebrate’ to ‘things to lament and think about’. The former include the ‘normalisation’ of Japanese language teaching, its strength at all levels (particularly in numerical terms) and the achievement of a home-grown Australian capacity in Japanese studies. The latter centre on the high rates of attrition in Japanese, the dissatisfaction of learners which lead…
Tense Times and Language Planning
This article discusses the different effects arising from deliberations on language policy in conferences dominated by professionals compared with the interests, priorities and demands of geo-political and military security coming from defense interests. The paper proposes a three dimensional way to understand language policy: text, discourse and performance, and discusses strains and tensions placed on language policy that aims to serve explicit…

Emergent China and Chinese
Globalisation and national communities of communication
Using the work of Dante to provide a historical perspective, this paper discusses the connection between nations, states and languages. Dante practiced both policy and cultivation approaches and, as a language strategist, he had a profound impact on the language directions of fourteenth-century Italy. By introducing the questione della lingua Dante set the terms of language debate in Italian public life and established himself as a language plann…
Invented languages and new worlds
THE LIFE of a language involves relationships between linguistic elements and extra-linguistic contexts. The linguistic elements are varied and multiple, involving both written and spoken symbols and grammars, while the extra-linguistic contexts are the innumerable societies, cultures, and sub-cultures of humankind, including its worlds of reality, imagination, and ideology. This article discusses invented languages, partly in order to explore th…
Uncle Sam and Mr Unz
In the United States today, two developments – concern for national security and the concerns of private citizens – have catapulted languages onto the national policy agenda. The first requires more Americans to learn foreign languages while the second seeks to ban bilingual education. ‘Uncle Sam wants you to learn a foreign language!’
Institutional Responses
In Australia and possibly in many other countries, a very contradictory pattern has been emerging in recent years.TESOL educators who believe in the possibility of empowering minority children within existing educational institutions have often seen the related and contributory need for multicultural and bilingual education.This belief is by no means universally shared among educators.Indeed I would argue that the dominant way of thinking about t…
