Englishisation and Multilingual Dynamics in Higher Education
Description
This book is Volume 1 of The Linguistic Landscape of Higher Education Internationalisation , a project examining the role of English as a Language of Globalisation and Internationalisation (ELGI), a term first introduced in this work, to describe the use of English as a key driver of internationalisation in higher education. The volume focuses on contexts in Kachru's outer and expanding circles , particularly in Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, where English is neither a heritage nor an official language.
Adopting a critical perspective, the contributors explore how ELGI reshapes identities, local languages, and cultures, alongside institutional practices of Englishisation in HE. Attention is given to multilingualism, language hegemony, resistance to Englishisation, and stakeholder voices at the grassroots level. The volume also foregrounds language policy, ethical considerations, and the impact of digitalisation, including online education and linguistic landscapes.
This book will be a valuable resource for practitioners in international education, language policy, applied linguistics, and higher education studies.
