Abstract

Promoting diversity has become a prominent goal in language-in-education policy
discourse in two broad contexts. On the one hand, language policies take on the challenge
of maintaining and developing de facto linguistic and cultural diversity through
language acquisition planning; on the other hand, they portray themselves as active
agents of social change and aim to develop positive cross-cultural attitudes through
language education. This paper discusses these two main aspects of language-in-education
policies. The discussion is focused on the Australian and the European
policy discourses. These two contexts offer an interesting point of comparison as they
represent Western democracies with a highly multicultural and multi-ethnic population.
