If we focus on social action, language policy is the discourse management of people. Highly recommend reading "Language Policy in Action" by @kristofsavski.bsky.social Read my full review here: rdcu.be/eHSQa Thanks to @bonacina-pugh.bsky.social and the team at LP @springernature.com

Trump’s Executive Order on “radical indoctrination” in K-12 schools is premised on some strange logic. I understand ideologies as dynamic, contested, assemblages of values. How can they be “false”?

And the critical educational linguist might add that the label “the real world” is always up for grabs, that teaching students to celebrate and leverage linguistic diversity is in fact preparing them for a linguistically heterogenous future, in turn helping preserve the value of that heterogeneity

Language ideologies shape the rules around what and whose language is validated. A big shift in research in recent years has been from identifying what they *are* to illustrating what they *do*--how they impact social life. Read more in our EAL entry! www.researchgate.net/publication/...

If literacy means the co-constructed functional ability to communicate meaning across written and spoken modes, then “academic” literacies need to broaden beyond the obsession with formal norms of “standard” language. #literacies #langsky #academicsky #edusky
