The focus of this book is the methodology implemented and the results obtained over the course of a year-long action research project on language and education in St. Eustatius, one of the islands of the Dutch Caribbean, commissioned by the educational authorities in both St. Eustatius and the European Netherlands. On the island, the language of instruction is Dutch, however, outside of the classroom most students only speak English and an English-lexifier Creole. The research project was set up to address the negative impact on school success of this disparity. It included a community-based sociolinguistic study that actively involved all of the stakeholders in the education system on the island. This was complemented by a multi-pronged set of research strategies, including a language attitude and use survey, a narrative proficiency test, in depth interviews, and a review of the relevant literature. The resulting report and recommendations were accepted by the government, which is now in the process of changing the language of instruction. 410 0$aLanguage Policy,$x1571-5361 ;$v20 606 $aEducational policy 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aLanguage policy 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O19000 606 $aLanguage Policy and Planning$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N64000 606 $aEducation Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33030 615 0$aEducational policy. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aLanguage policy. 615 14$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aLanguage Policy and Planning. 615 24$aEducation Policy. 676 $a418.0071 676 $a418.007 700 $aFaraclas$b Nicholas$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0930006 702 $aKester$b Ellen-Petra$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aMijts$b Eric$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349349003321 996 $aCommunity Based Research in Language Policy and Planning$92526933 997 $aUNINA
