讲座简介：
Language policy research puts little emphasis on teacher agency in language policy decision-making. This study addresses this gap by exploring how English teachers influenced English as an Additional Language (EAL) language policies and practices in Canada. Data were collected through policy documentation analysis, individual interviews with 24 English teachers, administrators, and two focus groups with teachers, migrant parents and policymakers. Results show teachers raised concerns about the EAL policies. Many teachers undertook collaborative and individualized strategies to impact EAL policies (Liddicoat & Taylor-Leech, 2021). Across several decades, they successfully lobbied the Alberta government to provide funding for Canadian-born and kindergarten EAL students, and to lift the three-year funding cap. This study suggests rather than viewing teachers as passive recipients of policy (Throop, 2007), it is important to recognize teachers as policymakers and engage them as collaborators in decision-making to transform the educational systems.
