ABSTRACT

Studies in language policy and planning (LPP) for the teaching and learning of foreign languages have been under-represented in LPP scholarship. This under-representation is especially the case for studies of policy and planning for foreign languages other than English outside the English-speaking world. Foreign language education in much of the world has become synonymous with the teaching and learning of English, with other languages having at best a marginal position, especially in schools. This article presents an introduction to a thematic issue of Current Issues in Language Planning examining policies that seek to expand the diversity of foreign language education beyond its narrow focus on English.

摘要

外语教学的语言政策和规划（LPP）研究在 LPP 奖学金中的代表性不足。这种代表性不足的情况尤其适用于英语世界以外的英语以外的外语政策和规划研究。在世界大部分地区，外语教育已成为英语教学的代名词，而其他语言充其量只能处于边缘地位，尤其是在学校中。本文介绍了语言规划中的当前问题的主题问题，该问题旨在探讨旨在扩大外语教育多样性的政策，而不仅仅是对英语的狭隘关注。
