Summary: | This paper is a comparative study of two important journals which reflect the challenges faced by two
developing countries: Malaysia and Cambodia. The objectives of this study are to investigate the problems, planning
and challenges faced by both countries and also to justify the language policy and planning of both countries using
Fairclough’s concepts in Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The findings show that language policy and language
planning in Malaysia and Cambodia are majorly influenced by the political development at both of the countries
themselves. Obviously, the national language of Bahasa Malaysia and Khmer has experienced development and
standardization surrounded with the influence of second language, that is English. |
