The situation of the Arabic language currently calls for exploring opportunities for language-in-education policies to inform basic and tertiary education.\u0000The paper contributes to the policy of Arabic language-in-education knowledge and understanding to support pedagogical practices. The implications of a recent research study analysing Arabic language initiatives in the UAE bring to the forefront new pathways for the development of Arabic language-in-education policy, pedagogical practices and curriculum planning in the UAE. This paper extends the discussion emerging from this previous research to address trends of language-in-education policies in Arab countries. Specifically, it highlights policy opportunities that have implications on teaching and learning practices of the Arabic language by its first-language speakers. This paper builds direct links between research and the practice of language policy and planning (LPP) in its broader sense and addresses the concept of Arabic language policy and planning in the context of Arab countries.","PeriodicalId":166757,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Language Policy: Volume 14, Issue 2","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126220851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It takes as an entry point a recent infomercial-style music video featuring the well-known fictive Singlish-speaking character Phua Chu Kang that was released by the Singaporean government in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. It encouraged residents to get vaccinated for their own protection and was widely circulated across mainstream news media as well as other platforms. Mining the character of Phua Chu Kang, previously fiercely criticised by the government for speaking Singlish, the article historicises Singlish and its shifting place in Singapore’s cultural politics and language policy. It demonstrates how the language has shifted from a previous position as a state antagonist to a demotic language now actively mobilised by the state. In so doing, it updates extant understandings of Singlish in relation to language policy and culture in Singapore where antagonism has given way to a relationship of ambivalence with the state. More broadly, it also highlights the instrumental value of mobilising a demotic language for its persuasive potential within speech communities that have an affinity for it.","PeriodicalId":166757,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Language Policy: Volume 14, Issue 2","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116265398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study examines which factors correlate with parents’ efforts to maximise the institutional language (here Dutch) input in the home. The variables taken into account are: the families’ language policy constituted by language practices, beliefs and management; advice from both early childhood professionals and other sources; the parents’ linguistic and educational resources, as well as the family’s migration generation. Our data, representing 776 multilingual families in the officially monolingual, yet de facto language-diverse Flemish community of Belgium, were subjected to a bivariate correlational analysis and a stepwise logistic regression. Our results show the potential influence of advice and educational resources on parental decisions to maximise their children’s institutional language input. Both lower educational resources and advice given by professionals are linked with higher Dutch exposure efforts, whereas advice from other sources appears connected with less inclination to expose children to the institutional language at home. In further discussing our findings, policy implications are introduced.","PeriodicalId":166757,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Language Policy: Volume 14, Issue 2","volume":"130 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128134115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
