Abstract
This chapter will examine general patterns in language-in-education policy in the Asia-Pacific region with a focus on official government policies on languages and their use in education. The chapter will begin by considering three main areas of language-in-education policy that are of particular significance for understanding the region. These are (1) the focus on national languages and policies relating to medium of instruction, (2) the teaching and learning of additional languages as second or foreign languages, and (3) the place of minority languages. Overall, the chapter will argue that most countries in the region have adopted language-in-education policies that give attention to two languages only – the national language and English – and that other languages have been marginalized in education, although there are some cases where a greater range of languages is included in educational contexts.
