English as a Global Medium
Description
This book is Volume 2 of The Linguistic Landscape of Higher Education Internationalisation , a project examining the implementation of English as a Language of Globalization and Internationalization ( ELGI ), a term introduced here to describe countries in Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East where English is neither a heritage nor official language. The volumes explore Englishisation through the lenses of identity, local languages, and culture, while also highlighting stakeholder resistance and grassroots experiences of students and teachers. Attention is given to language policy, emphasizing legal and ethical dimensions, alongside the impact of digitalization, online learning, and technology on language use.
Volume 2 focuses on pedagogical and professional applications of English in higher education, with emphasis on EMI, CLIL, and skills development for teachers and students. Volume 1 addresses linguistic landscapes, language policy, and English's interaction with local languages. This book will be relevant to researchers, academics, students, and educators in international education, language policy, Englishisation, and applied linguistics.
