Language Diversity and Language Policy in Educational Access and Equity
This article examines the role of language policies in mediating access and equity in education. By examining a range of research and case studies on language policies, we explore how educational language policies serve as a central gatekeeper to education itself, as well as to quality education that may fundamentally depend on language ability, not only for literacy and classroom interaction but also for textbooks,materials, assessment, and other language-related aspects of education. Our analysis offers an argument for placing language policies at the center of debates
about educational access and equity, as well as a broad range of sociopolitical processes that shape learners’ educational achievement.
