Language Planning and Education in Australasia and the South PacificRichard B. Baldauf, Allan Luke A collection of original papers on the subject of language problems as they relate to educational issues in Australia, South East Asia and the South Pacific. These are nations where language has been a key terrain for both colonial imposition and indigenous dissent. Imported languages and educational systems have been developed for economic and political purposes, often resulting in the eradication of local languages and the emergence of pidgins and creoles. Hence language has become a point of dispute within politics and economics. |
