Engaging Language Policy and Practices re-envisions language policy and planning as an engaged approach, drawing on and portraying theoretical and educational equity perspectives. Through ethnographic studies based in Nepal and Hawai`i and by depicting ways in which engaged language policy embodies the intersection of critical inquiry, participant involvement, and ongoing engaged language planning processes, this text offers an alternative to the traditional top-down approach to language education policy making. Engaging Language Policy and Practices is an ideal main or supplementary text for graduate courses in language policy and planning.
