This book represents a significant intervention into the debates
surrounding Brexit and language policy. It analyses the language
capabilities and resources of the United Kingdom in a new,
post-referendum climate, in which public hostility towards foreign
languages is matched by the necessity of renegotiating and building
relationships with the rest of Europe and beyond. The authors
scrutinize the availability of key resources in diverse sectors of
society including politics, economics, business, science and
education, while simultaneously offering practical advice and
guidance on how to thrive in the new international environment.
This extremely timely edited collection brings together leading
researchers from across the field of language policy, and is sure
to appeal not only to students and scholars of this subject, but
also to practitioners, policy makers and educators.
