Policy Meets Practice: A Multimodal Exploration of Language Education in Galician Schools examines how language policy operates in classroom settings by analysing the processes through which policy is articulated, contextualised, and enacted in everyday pedagogical practice.This study into the experiences of teachers in Galicia, where Galician, Spanish, signed, and migrant languages coexist, offers scholars globally a foundation for understanding the central role of educators in the interpretation, negotiation, and enactment of language policy. Using a multimodal methodological framework that combines critical discourse analysis, qualitative interviews, and visual data, the book examines the institutional, ideological, and material conditions that shape how educators work with linguistic diversity in their classrooms. In doing so, it brings together scholarship on autochthonous minority, migrant, and signed languages, and interrogates the persistent separation of these in policy discourse and educational practice.Policy Meets Practice will be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students in sociolinguistics, language policy and planning, and multilingual education who will gain critical insights into the relationship between language, policy, and education.…
