| Tóm tắt: | The article aims at analysing the various perceptions of success and failure in LSP among language policy agents. Do they have a homogeneous view of success and failure? How coherent is each agent’s vision? The corpus is composed of positions of the Council of Europe, of the French State and of student unions. It appears that for each examined agent, the notions of success and failure are complex and ambiguous. The fact of considering that a learner has succeeded, or failed, has consequences on every other LSP agent as part of a complex system. This emphasises the difficulty of assessing for both teachers and students, as well as teachers’ social responsibility. The article eventually shows the interest of micro-level studies of LSP agents’ conceptual differences to account for the dynamics of macro-level language policies. |
