Journal Title: Освітній простір України - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
The article analyzes the monolingualism policy opposed to the policy of bilingualism in the language policy of the United States. The author considers the historical background, issues and implementation mechanisms of the monolingualism policy in the multiethnic state, the result of which is directed against cultural diversity and immigrant minority languages. The article defines sources of English monolingualism ideology, racial hostility of majority toward minority, ethnic conflict between the minorities, class antagonism of socioeconomic groups at a lower level of welfare; political negative reaction of bilingualism opponents; negative attitude to everything that is foreign. The author presents arguments and counterarguments used by bilingualism supporters and linguistic diversity in the United States. Federal policy bilingual education is compared with the American melting pot. Behavioral and linguistic assimilation of immigrants is presented as an inevitable component of cultural assimilation into the dominant society resulting from the recognition of English as the language of equal opportunities.
