Language Policies as Virtual Reality: Two Australian Examples.
Moore, Helen
TESOL Quarterly, v30 n3 p473-97 Aut 1996
Explores the background of Australia's shift from its National Policy on Languages (NPL) to the Australian Language and Literacy Policy (ALLP). Findings are that the ALLP's virtual reality serves the ideologies of a power elite; and the NPL's understandings are necessary to avoid the consequences of alienation and racism.
