DESCRIPTION:In his talk Martin Solly (University of Florence) will focus o
 n the language in which the policy-making underpinning educational reform 
 in the sphere of language learning is couched. He starts from the premise 
 (Wells 1999) that the language used for talking about education reflects t
 he different perspectives of those involved: administrators responsible fo
 r educational planning and provision use different language to educational
 ists concerned with research. In particular he will concentrate on the lan
 guage of policy-making concerning language learning in the European Union\
 , the United Kingdom and the United States\, with the aim of illustrating 
 how language has a determining role in the construction\, negotiation and 
 narration of ‘new’ educational identities.
