Language Planning and Education in Australasia and the South Pacific

The papers in this volume examine selected language problems and educational issues in the region. Following a critical introduction to language planning, a range of problems facing governments, language planners and consultants, and educators are discussed: What language(s) should be taught and used? Who should be involved in making educational and language policy? What agendas are at work in existing policies? This book will be of value to all those interested in the politics, language and culture of Australia, the South Pacific and South-east Asia.
