Frontmatter -- Contents -- Figures -- Tables -- Aims, Limitations and Questions -- 1. Remaking a Nation Through Language Policy -- 2. Australia’s Italian and Japanese -- 3. The Research Approach and the Schools -- 4. Student Subjectivity -- 5. Pushing Policy To Be Real -- Appendices -- References -- Index
Summary: This book is a timely comparison of the divergent worlds of policy implementation and policy ambition, the messy, often contradictory here-and-now reality of languages in schools and the sharp-edged, shiny, future-oriented representation of languages in policy. Two deep rooted tendencies in Australian political and social life, multiculturalism and Asian regionalism, are represented as key phases in the country’s experimentation with language education planning. Presenting data from a five year ethnographic study combined with a 40 year span of policy analysis, this volume is a rare book length treatment of the chasm between imagined policy and its experienced delivery, and will provide insights that policymakers around the world can draw on.
