Abstract
This chapter summarizes our reflections concerning the entire research project, with a focus on how a community based approach was incorporated at as many stages and at as many levels as possible in our work. This we do with a particular focus on the implications of our experiences in Statia in relation to key questions that frame current debates within such domains of study and praxis as language policy and planning. We then comment on how our adoption of a community based research framework maximized the quantity and quality of the results and maximized the chances for a successful transition from Dutch to English as the language of instruction in Statian schools. Finally, we mention some new questions that our research on Statia has raised for theorists and practitioners in the areas of language policy and planning and community based research.
