bilingual education as language policy  

Definición

  • Language policy and language planning are two areas of applied linguistics that are intended to be used hand in hand to assess communication problems in education and society. Unfortunately, language planning and policies have sometimes been used in ways that have actually increased communication problems, such as when, for example, their effect has been to suppress communication in particular languages or when policies to promote mainstream education in the United States only in the English language have been poorly planned or poorly implemented.
