- This collection of 5 case studies have been gathered world-wide from schools that have implemented innovative and pioneering language policy, in contradiction to mainstream single- culture and monolingual school practice. They derive from 4 continents of the world, Hawaii, Singapore, Kenya, the Netherlands and the UK; and entail an innovative form of insider-outsider research in which researcher and school participants interrogate research questions side by side. The studies uncover the ‘deep structures’ which made these policies realisable, revealing not only the impact of language policy on school culture, but also the leadership needed for radical change.
