Research Methods in Language Policy and Planning cover

This is the first volume exclusively devoted to research methods in language policy and planning (LPP).

  • Each chapter is written by a leading language policy expert and provides a how-to guide to planning studies as well as gathering and analyzing data
  • Covers a broad range of methods, making it easily accessible to and useful for transdisciplinary researchers working with language policy in any capacity
  • Will serve as both a foundational methods text for graduate students and novice researchers, and a useful methodological reference for experienced LPP researchers
  • Includes a series of guidelines for public engagement to assist scholars as they endeavor to incorporate their work into the public policy process

"[T]he book is a thoroughly enjoyable whistle-stop tour of research methods, highly readable and accessible at a glance. The suggestions from experts on research methods, data collection, potential research questions and literature dissemination will be highly valued by post-graduate or doctoral research students. The methodological rigor and topical richness will make this book appeal to LPP researchers, (critical) discourse analysts, applied linguists and scholars in bilingual/multilingual education research." - Wenge Chen, International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2016
