Hello,
I am looking for literature or research that focuses on how different structural or agency-based factors influence the strengthening of different language hierarchies in school settings.
We conducted some research on Hungarian language teaching for Hungarian minority students in Romanian language schools. The short story is the following. These classes are optional and the curriculum and how they need to be organized are not clear and in this context seemingly the goals formulated by teachers (language revitalization, Hungarian as a basic element of Hungarian identity for students) are not in concordance with the actual language teaching practices and the teachers', schools' and students' attitudes toward the language, and through this teachers unintendedly reify the lack of importance or asymmetry between Romanian and Hungarian languages.
So can you suggest some literature that could help me contextualize or findings?
I am familiar with Shohamy's Hidden language strategies, Tollefson's book on inequalities and some of Ricento's work.
Hi , in my paper on assessment policy change- The Challenges of Implementing Assessment Policy Change and the Mitigating Factors for Success at Schools in Malaysia, I relied on Halasz (2002); Fullan, (2005); Priestley (2005), Priestley et al (2010). In describing teachers' reaction to change and reform where they feel professionally marginalized, dis-empowered and afflicted by bureaucracy, I relied on sources from Ball (2008); Goodson (2003); and Levin, 2008. Though I did not specifically zoom in on language, it is part of the overall context. I think you will these literature indirectly useful.
hI, Norkhairi Ahmad.

The book " Introduction to Functional Grammar" written by Halliday and Mathiessen may hopefully shed light on what you are looking for.
