dc.description.abstract | The focus in this paper is on the implementation of language policy in education. It explores
and discusses the notion of subaltern agency in an education organization. Recent language
policy research highlights individual and collective agency in the processes of language use,
attitudes and policies. People on the ground, charged with implementation are not the
passive receivers of policies or the vague resistors once depicted in research accounts,
referring to public body practitioners, but social actors who can exercise subaltern agency.
The aim is to show that language policies are not merely implemented, but are actually
shaped on the ground. Examples of subaltern agency from a case study of the Official
Languages Act Ireland (2003) are explored.
