We argue the emergence of a shift in U.S. language education policy discourses from an equity/heritage (EH) framework focused on equity for English learners and non-English heritage languages, toward a global human capital (GHC) framework linked to neoliberal considerations of the language skills of individuals and nations. This discursive shift…

Picchio, Matteo; van Ours, Jan C. – Economics of Education Review, 2013
This paper investigates whether on-the-job training has an effect on the employability of workers.
