Language Policy and Planning (LPP) studies the linguistic, sociocultural, economic, educational, and socio-political dimensions of decisions about the use, role, and status of languages across spaces. As an interdisciplinary field, LPP investigates how and why institutions, communities, and individuals create, negotiate, and implement language policies. This course aims to engage students in understanding and analysing the theories, research practices, impacts, and implications of LPP across spaces such as school/university, family, workplace, and public places. The course engages students in critical analyses of how language policies shapes language learning, socialization, identities (e.g., race, ethnicity, and social class), ideologies and inequalities. The major topics to be covered in the course are: language ideology, language education policy (including English as a medium of instruction and multilingual education), family language policy (FLP), agency in language policy, and linguistic landscape. Students will read research-based texts and participate in discussions to examine language policies from diverse world contexts, including minority language contexts.
