Course description
A comparative language education approach to language policy and planning issues, especially those related to TESOL, with a focus on the Pacific basin. The development of standard languages and increasing access to languages of wider communication through increased educational provision has been a major driving force for modernisation and change in this region. A social, historical and educational examination of forces unleashed by language and education provision and how language planning is applied to new issues and problems is provided.
