Language Education and Policy in Fiji

Boufoy-Bastick, Beatrice

Language Education and Policy in Fiji

This two-volume work is a much expanded and up-dated study based on the author''s original doctoral research of socio-cultural influences on language teaching in Fiji. The dissertation was nominated for the American Educational Research Association (AERA) ''Outstanding Dissertation of the Year'' for its rigorous qualitative research methodology and use of flexible anthropological processes to investigate education in multicultural contexts. This volume describes the placement of the study and the three stages of increasingly focused research used to discover the two main ethnic cultures of Fiji. The work is notable, not only for its insights into cultural influences on educational attainments in language, but also for the widely applicable qualitative and quantitative cultural research methodologies devised for the study. In particular, this research is the inception study for the field of Culturometrics. As such it stands as a model for quality doctoral research, gives substantive insights into the cultures of Fiji and offers innovative tools for researchers of cultural identity. Searchable open-access copies, including colour-coded plates, can be downloaded at www.Culturometrics.org
