ABSTRACT

The Brexit of the UK will have profound impact on politics, economy, culture and education of the UK, EU and even the whole world. The UK has implemented its language-in-education policies for many years, which plays an important role in enhancing national language competence. In order to serve the national development at the world stage, the UK has been keeping designing its language-in-education policies, such as choosing major foreign languages for the future, reserving foreign language talents to enhance its national foreign language competence, and strengthening the important role of modern foreign language in the National Curriculum-. The Brexit will also influence language-in-education policies of the UK. By studying and interpreting the policy documents of the UK government, the language-in-education policies of some institutions for language policy and planning and its post-Brexit language policies may give us some implications in terms of language policy and planning.
