The changes described in the book have occurred in a speech community that identifies strongly with the local language, but finds itself increasingly having to use another language to perform daily functions in education and work. Findings describe how the official language and educational policies have not addressed this new linguistic ecology of Iceland. The findings of these studies have larger international practical, educational, empirical, and theoretical implications and should be relevant to anyone interested in in the impact of English as an International Language.Educational Linguistics,2215-1656 ;34Language and languagesStudy and teachingEducation and stateLanguage policyContinuing educationLanguage EducationEducational Policy and PoliticsLanguage Policy and PlanningLifelong LearningLanguage and languagesStudy and teaching.Education and state.Language policy.Continuing education.Language Education.Educational Policy and Politics.Language Policy and Planning.Lifelong Learning.428.007132.32EP-CLASSArnbjörnsdóttir Birnaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtIngvarsdóttir Hafdísedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299518103321Language Development across the Life Span2503258UNINA
