Current Issues in Language Planning

CALL 1

Dear Authors,
 
Please, carefully read the general overview of the issue to fit one of the aspects indicated below.

The Special Issue aims to explore EMI within language-in-education planning in the countries of the Expanding Circle. Adopting the concepts of multiple roles of actors (Zhao & Baldauf, 2012) within macro, meso, and micro levels of language planning, the papers will reveal the implications and outcomes of the current language planning policies at any of these levels for the sustainability of EMI programs in HEI.
 
We, therefore, invite empirical and conceptual/theoretical contributions to be included in the Special Issue addressing one of the following topics:
 
• Analysis of language policy and planning to promote and maintain EMI programs in HE at macro, meso, and/or micro levels;
• The interconnection of macro, meso, and micro levels to promote and maintain EMI programs;
• How macro-level translates into meso and/or micro levels to provide sustainability of EMI programs;
• How meso and micro levels resist the macro level in promoting the sustainability of EMI programs;
• The efforts undertaken by micro-level actors in enhancing the quality of EMI programs.
 

* NOTE: all the topics indicated above should be researched from the point of view of language planning.
