Recent sociolinguistic research in multilingual settings suggests that individual decisions about language are highly interdependent with socioeconomic conditions and historically established language values. Yet studies designed to inform language and literacy programme development have tended to focus on national legislation and policy goals. In presenting here a case study of multilingual Luxembourg, I examine language legislation in terms of relationships among language policy goals, language values and behaviour within low, middle, and upper class communities, and language use expectations at school. The article focuses on the ways in which differences between lower class experience and school expectations affect achievement of both individual and government goals. The study suggests how an understanding of community language values can be used to inform language and literacy programme development.
