This book aims to expand the theoretical framework of and counter the Eurocentric narratives in language policy research, by comparing policies of EU and India and demonstrating the importance of taking a comparative perspective while studying language policies. This book challenges the notion of macro-level power in language policy research and offers evidence that, in democratic frameworks, macro-level power is not absolute. It is not uniform across policy domains, but rather susceptible to pressure, especially in the domains of healthcare and social welfare. This book makes three important contributions to the theory of language policy by: Arguing for the need to reconceptualise macro-level power Proposing ‘Categories of Differentiation’ as a new analytical tool for policy research Demonstrating that socio-political changes are reflected at the textual level This book is of interest to researchers working on language policies and those investigating language related legislation across different policy domains, to practitioners and policymakers in language policy, as well as to graduate students conducting comparative policy research. “This is a much valued and timely book making a strong case for the subject of language policy across Europe and India. The large comparative case studies of four distinctive states across Europe and India in a simple descriptive mode makes the reading of this book enjoyable. The domains of administration, legislation, healthcare and social welfare are undoubtedly novel ways to deal within the concept of language policy in a wider sense. The author uses discourse analysis to bring out the relationship between intention, explanation and interpretation of a phenomenon like language policy and its implementation. The social diversity as expressed in linguistic mapping is well captured in the novel idea of “categories of differentiation” both as a normative methodological tool and its historical-empirical manifestation.” — Asha Sarangi, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.

This edited book brings together original contributions from scholars working across Language Policy and Planning to advance the recent 'Empirical turn' that has taken place in the field. All the chapters in the volume show how Language Policy can be conceptualized 'as practice' in a variety of domains, ranging from the home to the workplace, schools, and higher education. The authors also suggest further theoretical, methodological, and empirical developments for the discipline in light of this epistemological shift. A Foreword and an Afterword shed light on the theoretical and empirical lineage of this volume and show how this book contributes to the humanization of Language Policy research. This book will be of interest to scholars and post-graduate students working across Language Policy and Planning, Language in Education Policy, and Family Language Policy, as well as those in adjacent fields including Education Policy, Classroom Discourse, Linguistic Anthropology, Sociology of Education, and Multilingualism.

In the dynamic of constantly evolving field of foreign language instruction, marked by continuous advancements and growing difficulties, the need for innovation, teamwork, and adaptation becomes increasingly apparent. When educators, politicians, and scholars study language education, they realize that solving current problems demands a complete and all-encompassing strategy. Effective foreign language instruction requires a deep understanding of teaching methods, proficiency in modern teaching techniques, keeping up with technological advancements, recognizing cultural influences, and understanding the wide-ranging effects of policy decisions. Within this complex and diverse setting, educators have the responsibility of not only teaching language skills but also creating a conducive atmosphere that promotes creativity and facilitates cooperation. Policy Development, Curriculum Design, and Administration of Language Education unites a wide range of voices, viewpoints, and research methods to illuminate the complex difficulties encountered by language educators. The book provides insights that are applicable to different educational policies, and ongoing professional development for language instructors. Covering topics such as collaborative writing, linguistically responsive teachers, and second language teaching, this book is an excellent resource for scholars, researchers, language instructors, pre-service teachers, policymakers, administrators, and more.

This book responds to the call for praxis in L2 education by documenting recent and ongoing projects around the world that see partnership with classroom teachers as the essential driver for continuing to develop both classroom assessment practice and conceptual frameworks of assessment in support of teaching and learning. Taken together, these partnerships shape the language assessment literacy, the knowledge and skills required for theorizing and conducting assessment activities, of both practitioners and researchers. While united by their orientation to praxis, the chapters offer considerable diversity with regard to languages taught, learner populations included (varying in age and proficiency level), specific innovations covered, research methods employed, and countries in which the work was conducted. As a whole, the book presents a way of engaging in research with practitioners that is likely to stimulate interest among not only language assessment scholars but also those studying second language education and language teacher education as well as language teaching professionals themselves.

This book offers a powerful, post‐colonial rejection of the so‐called global ‘learning crisis’ that offers deficit models of the experiences, knowledges, identities and relationships of African children, eroding their agency and dignity and undermining their learning opportunities and potential. Three case studies of three accelerated learning programmes (ALPs) for out‐of‐school and lower-achieving children in Ethiopia, Liberia and Ghana illustrate multi‐dimensional models that re‐envision the purposes and pedagogies of basic education, reconnect with the lived experiences of African children and teachers and promote the role of communities in improving children’s learning. Drawing on diverse social theory, the chapters reveal the use of children’s funds of identity and knowledge, a material engagement with their natural environment, and highlight the transformative use of local languages. This book ultimately proves that a holistic approach to learning, based on the relational and community‐rooted African philosophy of Ubuntu, produces vital personal and academic benefits for African children. This book will be of great interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of international and comparative education, postcolonial studies, African education, education policy and transformative pedagogy. It will also appeal to development strategists and NGOs working with the Education for All agenda.

"The author has questioned the recent conceptualizations of caste, class and tribe based on his understanding of the emergent social situations and new parameters of status-evaluation. New situations, in which different castes and their members find themselves, not only negate caste ideology, but also superimpose a new pattern of social relations on groups, families and individuals. Advent of a tribal elite and a middle class is an offshoot of the role of the state and various movements against the oppressive institutions of exploitation and subjugation. New questions create new situations and social encounters. A changed social milieu does not accept the conventional conceptualisations. Hence, an urge for re-conceptualisation of caste, class and tribe."
