Abstract	Macau was a Portuguese overseas territory from the sixteenth cen- tury until 1999. The colonial period and the handover to the People’s Republic of China (hereafter PRC) has had a strong impact on Macau’s culture and identity. This specific historical condition contributes to the formation of a very different context of language and literacy educa- tion and makes Macau a very special case in the Greater China region. Throughout history, the language planning and policy (hereafter LPP) in Macau has been deeply affected by the political discourse. The co-ex- istence of Portuguese, Chinese, English, and other languages made it a multilingual society in which the LPP and the corresponding language and literacy education are complex and have developed in a non-linear manner. The development of language and literacy education in Macau involves the negotiation of local and national identity together with the re-positioning of Macau in the global context.
