Auteurs : Gacem Mama .

Résumé

Within the last few decades, in an attempt to apprehend what underlie language policies, a remarkable shift of interest in the language and its agents to a concern with the beliefs and practices and extend far to encompass the management procedures by which language is impacted has arisen. This relatively new approach is known as ‘language management’. To this end, the purpose of this study is twofold: to delineate the boundary markers of the Language Management Approach ( LMA) through the viewpoint compiled, and to discover what attitudes actor of the pedagogical movement hold towards a repertoire of languages and what management procedures help to strengthen and maintain these linguistic resources. The obtained results show that the LMA stipulates social ideology and bottom up agency with rational lenses as key maxims to boost up the educational language planning doability.
