{"product_id":"language-policy-in-west-africa-james-bukari-9783639117745","title":"Language Policy in West Africa","description":"This book provides a new perspective by examining the language policies of Ghana and Burkina Faso and supplements existing studies on language policy in West Africa. The study reports the social attitudes of Ghanaians towards the French language and whether or not there is the need for their country to adopt a pragmatic national language policy that enforces its vicarious teaching and learning in schools, as a way of linguistically empowering the country and thereby making it fully reap the economic, political and socio-cultural dividends offered by 21st century regional and global trade. The study combines phenomenology and naturalistic inquiry as theoretical frameworks and uses the business tool of benchmarking to compare the language policies of the two countries. The methodological crowbar with which the study is pried and crafted is a mixed design in which qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis procedures are used. The study should add to West Africa's intellectual capital and serve as a significant reference to policy makers and researchers in Language Policy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Bukari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639117743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639117745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.28d","brand":"James Bukari","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486971375871,"sku":"9783639117745","price":52.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bc0fa5b2-0923-4874-a541-ac780dbdb266.jpg?v=1778057487","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/language-policy-in-west-africa-james-bukari-9783639117745","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
