It will outline some of the policies for English language instruction and the development of curricula in several areas. The English language needs as they pertain to both educational and broader societal goals are discussed. A description of the language planning bodies, their interactions, and their priorities with regard to the development of policies for English is presented in order to gain insight into the LP process for the English language i_n Kuwait and to contribute to the growing body of international research in LP. It is hoped that the information in this study will be the foundation for further significant research in LP for English in Kuwait and elsewhere. |
