This monograph presents up-to-date information concerning language planning and policy in Ecuador, highlighting the country's cultural and linguistic diversity, historical context, current sociolinguistic
situation and possible directions for the future. Taking into account Ecuador's particular sociopolitical conditions, it aims to provide a comprehensive review of language policies and planning, as well
as educational policies and programmes involving use of minoritised languages in media, education, religion and public official spaces. This monograph also underlines some of the challenges non-official
languages confront vis à vis the dominant society, allowing for a better understanding of the dynamics of indigenous languages and organisations in Ecuador and the Andes.
Keywords: ECUADOR, LANGUAGE PLANNING, EDUCATION, ANDES, INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES, QUECHUA
