The author of this article presents a meta-analysis of foreign language policy study.As a public policy,foreign language policy study is characterized by the same features of general public policy studies in eight aspects.These characteristics dictate the directions in which the researchers get engaged in meaningful research tasks.Following the list of the task proposals is the discussion of methodologies for viable policy studies in foreign language teaching.The author finally proposes a distinction between academic policy study and policy-making study in order to maintain the epistemological stance for pure foreign language education policy studies.
