Focus: The Institute of Linguistic Research (INIL) of the University of Costa Rica, in collaboration with the Esperantic Studies Foundation (ESF) (http://www.esperantic.org/en/home/), invites to the Seminar on Linguistic Policy, Linguistic Planning and Evaluation (PLPLE), which aims to open an international space for discussion on Linguistic Policy and Linguistic Planning (this seminar is a Summer school activity). The Seminar will consist of the description and analysis of the fundamental concepts of Linguistic Policy, Linguistic Planning and Linguistic Policy Evaluation, as well as its objectives and methods. During the four sessions of the seminar, the exponents will refer to specific cases that they have investigated. Of the four sessions, three of them will be held in English and one in Spanish. At the same time, there will be a series of lectures related to the seminar’s topics. The Seminar will last a week, with 20 hours, in a total of 4 days (except on August the 2nd, which is a holiday). Each exponent will give a four-hour workshop. We are considering the possibility that postgraduate students of the University of Costa Rica receive a credit for their attendance*.

Type of certificate given: Participation or attendance, depending on each case.
Deadline for registration: Wednesday, June 14, 2017, with limited capacity.
Registration fee: General public: 100 USD.

The Seminar will consist of four parts:
- Overview of LPP (Language Policy and Planning). History, objectives and outputs of LPP. It will be presented by Dr. David Cassels Johnson, University of Iowa: “Language Policy and Planning: Theory, Method, and Findings.”
- Evaluation of language policies. This part is necessary to identify the effectiveness of LPP and thus measure it in various fields of social and economic life. It will be presented by Dr. Michele Gazzola, Humboldt University in Berlin: “Evaluation in Language Policy and Planning (LPP).”
- Interlinguistic. The study of planned languages is also part of LPP and is an adequate contribution to the Seminar. Interlinguistics also studies the human relationships that take place through planned languages. This is a subject that is necessarily related to the inequality between languages, that is to say, Linguistic Justice. It will be presented by Dr. Federico Gobbo, University of Amsterdam: “Interlinguistics as extreme language planning: categories and cases.”
- Problems of planning in languages in process of displacement. It will be presented by Dr. Carlos Sánchez Avendaño, University of Costa Rica: “Problems of planning in languages in process of displacement.”
