Writing as Inquiry

Wikipedia

One strategy for finding language policies is to use Wikipedia as a starting point.

• Find a Wikipedia article about a language policy for a specific region
• Look through the article for links to the original policy document. Links are often in the References, Notes, or External Links.

Try starting from these lists of articles on Wikipedia:

Organization Websites

If you're interested in the language policy of a specific organization, you can browse their official website to find a language policy. This is a more difficult way to find documents, but it can lead to results.

Try some of these strategies as you search:

• For an organization or company website, look for a "Policies" page that links to official policy documents.
• For an organization or company website, look for a "Vision", "Mission", or similar page in the "About" section.
• Search for "language" as a keyword across the website.

Here are just a few examples:

• Language Learning at Shanghai Community International School (SCIS)
• About Our School from the Shanghai French School
• Investec Private Bank Language Policy
• Language policy of this website from the European Central Bank
