Drawing on empirical research and established language planning theories and ideas, this paper presents a conceptual framework model to support foreign language planning. The key focus is foreign or second language planning at secondary school level. Whilst foreign language planning is not a new phenomenon, this paper argues for a reconfigured perspective on this often under-examined issue.
