LANGUAGE POLICY AND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION PLANNI...

In the sociopolitics of language  sometimes yesterday's solution is tomorrow's problem. This
volume examines the evolving nature of language acquisition planning through a collection of
papers that consider how decisions about language learning and teaching are mediated by a
confluence of psychological  ideological  and historical forces. The first two parts of the
volume feature empirical studies of formal and informal education across the lifespan and
around the globe. Case studies map the agents  resources  and attitudes needed for creating
moments and spaces for language learning that may  at times  collide with wider beliefs and
policies that privilege some languages over others. The third part of the volume is devoted to
conceptual contributions that take up theoretical issues related to epistemological and
conceptual challenges for language acquisition planning. These contributions reflect on the
full spectrum of social and cognitive factors that intersect with the planning of language
teaching and learning including ethnic and racial power relations  historically situated
political systems  language ideologies  community language socialization  relationships among
stakeholders in communities and schools  interpersonal interaction  and intrapersonal
development. In all  the volume demonstrates the multifaceted and socially situated nature of
language acquisition planning.
