The book "Language Policy German as a Foreign and Second Language" by Hans-Jürgen Krumm deals with various aspects of language policy in relation to the German language as a foreign and second language. The author expands the perspective on language policy in Austria and Switzerland and discusses topics such as promoting German outside the German-speaking area, exclusion and discrimination through language, as well as educational equity. The book also sheds light on the relationship between language and power, as well as the role of language in the context of migration. It contains recommendations for practice and calls for stronger collaboration between professional associations to give more weight to the topic of "language learning" in educational policy.
