Review "This volume offers a significant collection of international perspectives on how and where educational language policy happens, and how language teachers and stakeholders can impact policy. The collection presents both the work of rising stars and established scholars. It will be of value to both scholars and students of LPP and how it affects practice." --Terrence G. Wiley, Professor Emeritus, Arizona State University, and Immediate Past President of the Center for Applied Linguistics "This volume offers many examples of current research, carefully reported, to expand the knowledge and skills of investigators, educators, and decision makers concerned with English language learning and teaching. It is a timely and valuable contribution." --Mary McGroarty, Professor Emerita, Northern Arizona University "This groundbreaking book examines language education policy through a wide lens. Taking into consideration how language teaching professionals, institutions, and other key stakeholders shape a broad range of educational issues, the editors and contributing authors of this volume lucidly illustrate the complexities surrounding language policy development and implementation. This book will be an important resource for language policy and planning scholars and everyone else who is interested in educational linguistics." --Peter De Costa, Assistant Professor, Michigan State University About the Author JoAnn ( Jodi) Crandall is Professor Emerita of Education at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, USA.
