| Abstract | The city of Macau is located just 30 km west of Hong Kong and shares a border with the Chinese city of Zhuhai, a ‘Special Economic Zone’ (SEZ) of the People’s Republic of China. The resident population of the city is just 632,857 and the territory is easily influenced by these two larger neighbours. Nevertheless, the unique historical and linguistic character of the city has developed over the centuries into a distinctive point of contact between Chinese, Portuguese and English language and culture. Language policy in education for Macau seeks to maintain this balance between three languages and develop a distinct identity for the 21st century. |
