and language policy. She holds a doctoral degree from Bristol University, UK in Primary Foreign

Summary –
As part of a larger study on global primary English I will discuss work-in-progress related to language policy at primary level in India and pre-primary level in the Shanghai region. I hope to use the seminar as an opportunity to explore
the challenges of equity in these two contexts, with colleagues here in Shanghai.
