Dear Angela,

I'll put in a shameless plug for a new book on LPP that David Johnson and I just did for Wiley-Blackwell:
http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-1118308395.html

We developed it with the novice reader in mind.

Best,
Francis

Hi Angela,
        This is not exactly what you're hoping for, but I teach about LPP in a course on Language Rights
                http://orb.essex.ac.uk/lg/lg474/index.htm
though I am not a specialist in this area. I have used several books on LPP, below,
        (see also specific readings on LPP w.r.t. language  rights at http://orb.essex.ac.uk/lg/lg474/LanguageRightsReferencesTopic.htm#LPLP)
Including
Ricento, Thomas, ed. 2006. An Introduction to Language Policy: Theory and Method. Blackwell. [P 138.I6]
Shohamy, Elana. 2006. Language policy: Hidden agendas and new approaches. London: Routledge.  [P 138.S5]
Spolsky, Bernard. 2004. Language policy. Cambridge University Press. [P 138.S7]

Spolsky is good for intro-level concepts, esp early chapters, but I am going to try out a newer work for them this year:
David Cassels Johnson, 2013. Language Policy. Palgrave Macmillan.

I have found some of the readings in Ricento also very useful, esp the chapters in the methods section.

I hhaven't tried the Cambridge Handbook yet.
Best,

Subject: LPP manual

Dear all,

Last year I taught a course on Language Policy and Planning at the School of Languages and Translation Studies of the University of Turku. The target population consisted of  the M.A. students of the Departments of Spanish, English, German, the Nordic languages, Finnish and Finugric languages, French, Italian, and Russian. Besides general things, I was able to put together a little bit of something for everyone. Unfortunately, I am not able to teach the same course in 2015-2016 but would need to come up with set readings of approximately 500 pages (in any case, not more). The ideal thing would, of course, be a manual and, if need be, a couple of articles covering the specific language area of the students. Needless to say, it'd be easier for me to have exactly the same readings for everyone. However, I find that some works concentrate more on one aspect or on specific language areas. Would you have any suggestions for a suitable manual? One option would be, as far as I can see, leaving out some of the chapters of the Cambridge Handbook of Language Policy (Spolsky ed. 2012).

Your comments would be very much appreciated.

Best regards,

Angela Bartens
