Preferred term

language education policy in global perspective  

Definition

  • Bilingual education, even in the United States, has developed as a result of explicit and implicit language policies that are carried out sometimes by nation-states, other times by ethnolinguistic groups and families, and yet other times by educators themselves. Sometimes the language education policy has to do with enrichment, or the addition of a second language, as in elite forms of bilingual education for majority children.
