从比利时殖民统治时期起，法语就是卢旺达的主要教学语言(MOI)。2008年10月，卢旺达内阁的一项决议要求立即在所有各级公立学校--从小学到大学--使用英语作为教学语言。这项研究报告了2011年9月至2012年6月在卢旺达进行的一项更大的语言政策民族志研究(Hornberger&Johnson 2007,2011；Johnson 2007,2009,2010a，2010 b)中收集的民族志访谈数据。对卢旺达南部省两所公立小学和两所公立中学的教师(n=8)进行的访谈揭示了：(A)卢旺达教学语言政策和做法的层次和空间，以及(B)在没有明确计划的情况下执行国家语言教育政策的当地现实。
From the time of Belgian colonial rule, French was predominantly the medium of instruction (MOI) in Rwanda. Then, in October 2008, a Rwandan Cabinet resolution called for the immediate implementation of English as the language of instruction in all public schools at all levels – from primary to tertiary. This study reports on ethnographic interview data collected in a larger ethnography of language policy (Hornberger & Johnson 2007, 2011; Johnson 2007, 2009, 2010a, 2010b) study undertaken in Rwanda between September 2011 and June 2012. The interviews, conducted with teachers (n = 8) in two public primary schools and two public secondary schools in Southern Province, Rwanda, reveal (a) the layers and spaces in Rwandan MOI policy and practice, as well as (b) the local realities associated with implementing national language-in-education policy without an articulated plan.
