This book focuses on the attitudes of Macao tertiary students toward language after the
handover. It shares the findings of a questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews
which were conducted among freshmen of the University of Macao to investigate their attitudes
toward Cantonese Putonghua English and Portuguese as well as their attitudes toward Macao's
language planning and language policy. Utilizing a multidimensional and multilayered
perspective in the study this book also demonstrates the orientations of Macao tertiary
students and the correlation between their social categories (gender and social class) and
their attitudes toward language.
