            Synopsis

                   The course provides an overview of language policy and planning at all levels from nation-state
            governments to the individual. It examines the theory and implementation of language policy and language
            policy in various polities and explores what language policy consists of, how it operates, and ways it can be
            studied empirically.  Through an analysis of specific case studies of language planning and policy students will
            acquire an understanding of the complex factors that go into language planning decisions at local, national and
            international levels.
