Abstract

While literacy has always been central to language planning work, there are fewer studies which focus primarily on literacy as a language planning activity. Often planning for literacy is treated as an aspect of status, corpus or language-in-education planning, rather than addressing literate practice itself as a planning objective. This volume investigates the complex issues and social and political pressures relating to literacy in a variety of language planning contexts around the world. The studies presented in this book examine language planning for literacy in official and vernacular languages and address issues relating to literacy in first and additional languages in North America, Asia, Africa, Europe and the Pacific. As a collection, these studies show that language planning for literacy is not simply a matter of planning a written version of a language, but involves more complex questions relating to the nature and practice of literacy and the power relations which exist within societies.

Abstract

Today, English is the predominant foreign language in Denmark and it is so widely spread that many people are concerned for the Danish language. But this is a recent development. As late as a hundred years ago, one could pass one's A-levels without ever having read a single word of English, and even students of the science side were taught more Latin than students of the Classical languages are today. It was the school reforms in 1903 that broke away from the grammar school and gave the modern languages a key position in both the primary, lower secondary and upper secondary schools. From having been scorned as a language of commerce, English was now recognized as a valid cultural language. The book outlines this development and discusses questions, such as: Why did it take so long for the English language to become part of the general education? What connected the Danish political-cultural orientation after 1964 and the development of the language subjects in the schools? Why was the school of Modern languages successful at first when later, in the 1930s, it came up against an identity crisis? The book provides a historical perspective for the topical debate in the upper secondary schools and proves that many of the arguments in this debate have been heard before.

Abstract

Globalisation and migration are producing societies of increasing linguistic diversity. At the same time, English is achieving unprecedented global dominance, smaller languages are becoming 'extinct' at an alarming rate, and ethnic tensions in countries from Belgium to Tibet continue to centre on questions of language. Against this background, the issue of how to ensure justice between speakers of different languages becomes a pressing social concern. Matters of 'linguistic justice'are therefore drawing increasing scholarly attention across a range of disciplines.How does international law con

Abstract

Im Gegensatz zu schon vorliegenden Bänden geht es in diesem umfassenden, inhaltlich strukturierten Themenband durchgehend um Fördermöglichkeiten von Deutsch als Fremdsprache und Germanistik sowie Möglichkeiten der Stellungstärkung der deutschen Sprache. Dabei wird auch Bezug genommen auf Deutsch als Zweit- und als Muttersprache, soweit es für das jeweilige Thema oder Land relevant ist. Die insgesamt 57 Beiträge sind gegliedert in zwei Teile, von denen sich der erste (30 Beiträge) mit allgemeinen, übergreifenden Fragen befasst und der zweite mit nationalen und regionalen Besonderheiten. Dabei bilden die Fördermöglichkeiten jeweils die Leitfrage, die so umsichtig und präzise wie möglich beantwortet wird - bei allerdings möglichst klarer und ungeschminkter Darstellung von Unsicherheiten und Unwägbarkeiten. In den nations- oder regionsspezifischen Beiträgen werden die wirtschaftlichen Beziehungen zu den deutschsprachigen Ländern, einschließlich Tourismus, wie auch die konkurrierenden Fremdsprachen und die örtliche Fremdsprachenpolitik in die Analysen einbezogen. Alle Beiträge thematisieren auch, im Rahmen von Mehrsprachigkeitskonzepten, Fragen der Fairness gegenüber anderen Sprachen, sowohl den konkurrierenden internationalen als auch den nationalen oder subnationalen Sprachen - wobei die Fairness letztlich die Sprachgemeinschaften (nicht die Sprachen) betrifft. Bei den Förderungsvorschlägen kommen vor allem folgende Möglichkeiten in Betracht: Verstärkung von Beziehungen zu Unternehmen/Hochschulen/Schulen aus den deutschsprachigen Ländern, zu deren politischen Instanzen (Botschaften, Konsulaten) und Förderinstitutionen (z. B. Goethe-Institute, Österreich Institute), Aufzeigen von Beruf- und Bildungschancen, Stärkung von Lern- und Studienmotivation, Verbesserungen curricularer Regelungen und schulischer Verhältnisse, der Bildung von Lehrern und Hochschullehrern sowie der didaktisch-methodischen Qualität von Unterricht und Lehre. The essays all relate to potential ways to promote German as a foreign language and German studies, and to boost the status of the German language worldwide. At the same time, they consider concepts of multilingualism in the context of fairness to other language communities. The first part of the book examines general, broad aspects while the second part focuses on national and regional particularities.
