Description:... Few countries have implemented a languages policy. One of the exceptions, South Africa, has a policy which recognises eleven official languages. From having the world's best languages policy in 1987, Australia now has no official policy on languages. The contributors to this volume attempt to determine where language policy should be taking us as a global society that values linguistic and cultural diversity, yet needs to communicate and collaborate for the future.
