Resumen de Basque acquisition planning

Nicolas Gardner, Mikel Zalbide

• This article describes and evaluates language planning for Basque in the educational sphere, both for literacy, maintenance or cultivation in the case of L1 speakers and for acquisition by L2 speakers. The main focus is the primary and secondary educational system in the Basque Autonomous Community, which involves larger pupil numbers and greater change in language use than in other educational sectors and other Basque speaking areas.
