This book brings together current research by leading international
scholars on the often contentious nature of language policies and
their practical outcomes in North America, Australia and Europe. It
presents a range of perspectives from which to engage with a variety
of pressing issues raised by multilingualism, multiculturalism,
immigration, exclusion, and identity. A recurrent theme is that of
tension and conflict: between uniformity and diversity, between
official policies and real day-to-day life experiences, but also
between policies in schools and the corporate world and their
implementation. Several chapters present research about language
policy issues that has previously not been fully or easily available
to an English-language audience. Many of the chapters also provide
up-to-date analyses of language policy issues in particular regions or
countries, focusing on recent developments.
