Monsterous Plans? Standard English in the National Curriculum and Norwegian in the "Monsterplan."

Anderson, Holly

English in Education, v29 n1 p14-19 Spr 1995

Compares the "standard English" that has been employed in the formation of the English National Curriculum with the way Norwegian has found its place in the "Monsterplan" ("monster" meaning pattern or guideline in Norwegian). Notes that Norway (which itself has been dominated by other cultures and languages for centuries) respects and tolerates diversity. (RS)
