Lytra","doi":"10.1080/14664208.2023.2227545","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14664208.2023.2227545","url":null,"abstract":"This paper addresses the paucity of research on policy agents ’ responses to the shift to teaching online during the fi rst lockdown in heritage language education and pedagogy. Collected in the context of a small-scale exploratory study, it focuses on the re fl ective accounts of a group of heritage language teachers in a Greek school in francophone Switzerland. The paper builds on a translingual and transcultural orientation to language and language education (Lytra et al., 2022, Liberating Language Education. Multilingual Matters) and investigates language teachers ’ emergency grassroots policy making through a critical ethnographic lens (Martin-Jones & da Costa Cabral, 2018, The critical ethnographic turn in research on language policy and planning. In J. W. Tollefson, & M. Pérez-Milans (Eds.), The Oxford Handbook of Language Policy and Planning (pp. 71 – 92). Oxford University Press). It demonstrates how teachers leveraged children ’ s developing digital abilities and expanded their semiotic repertoires. Concerned with delivering the curriculum, meeting language and literacy objectives and managing parental expectations, teachers simultaneously exploited children ’ s familiarity with established textbook heavy pedagogies which they adapted to di ff erent degrees. The acknowledgement and incorporation of children ’ s digital abilities, and experiences to support Greek language learning did not encompass an integrative multimodal and multilingual approach.","PeriodicalId":51704,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Language Planning","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42888776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present our project as grassroots policymaking in practice and demonstrate how, through deep and meaningful collaboration, researchers, teachers, parents/carers, and students can exercise bottom-up agency to address key issues in learning languages and developing multilingual literacy. Our interdisciplinary approach embeds interculturality within all stages of the language learning process creating spaces that foster empathy, activist citizenship, and possibilities for a more sustainable future. We interrogate our Critical Connections Project and argue that this approach to LPP provides an alternative model of interculturally oriented critical cosmopolitan education which validates multilingual identities. We show how digital technology, virtual communities, and a growing concern for social justice have shaped the project and discuss how we adopted a critical ethnographic approach. In looking at purposes, principles and means in our project, the digital stories themselves are analysed and presented as vibrant data. To conclude, we engage speci fi cally with the implications of our research for heritage languages and LPP. Finally, we make a series of recommendations for heritage language planning and policy.","PeriodicalId":51704,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Language Planning","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42853294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The book is divided into three sections that cover macro-analysis (national or regional level), meso-analysis (institutional level) and micro-analysis (classroom level). There are twenty-one chapters in total, with seven chapters allocated to each level of analysis. The chapters cover a wide range of international contexts, including countries in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. The macro level chapters focus on national-level EMI policies and the government-led implementation of EMI. These chapters cover Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Denmark, Ethiopia, Nepal and Turkey. The diversity in chapter contexts provides interesting contrasts between systems. For example, we see contexts where EMI is associated with (post-)colonial rule in Bangladesh and Nepal; EMI in Ethiopia, which was never colonised; EMI as an explicit policy goal in China; EMI as an unintended consequence of governance reforms in Denmark; partial EMI in Turkey; and EMI as a ‘fashion accessory’ in Brazil. While the countries vary in terms of linguistic backgrounds, history, culture and governance, it is interesting to see how EMI appears to be inevitable across contexts, although the exact manifestation varies. The meso-level chapters focus on the institutions themselves.

Cambridge University Press) social approach and Djité’s ([1994]. From language policy to language planning. National Languages and Literacy Institute of Australia) definition of language policy. The study is a qualitative research which relies on the contribution of 20 Algerian university students who are affiliated with eight Algerian universities, and on the researchers’ observations, social media pictures, videos, social media comments, and news outlet reports. The study concludes that there is a ‘seismic wave’ of English language (in terms of beliefs, practices and demands) amid the smile revolution protests (hirak) that will give rise to a future tidal wave of English based on the bottom-up involvement of participants in the policy-making process.","PeriodicalId":51704,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Language Planning","volume":"24 1","pages":"179 - 200"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47989959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
