In a world where higher education is increasingly
internationalised, questions of language use and multilingualism
are central to the ways in which universities function in teaching,
research and administration. Contemporary universities find
themselves in complex linguistic environments that may include
national level language policies, local linguistic diversity, an
internationalised student body, increasing international
collaboration in research, and increased demand for the use and
learning of international languages, especially English. The book
presents a critical analysis of how universities are responding
these complexities in different contexts around the world. The
contributions show that language issues in universities are complex
and often contested as universities try to negotiate the national
and the international in their work. In some contexts,
universities' language policies and the ways in which they are
implemented may have a negative impact on their ways of working. In
other contexts, however, universities have embraced multilingualism
in ways that have opened up new academic possibilities for staff
and students. Collectively, the chapters show that universities'
language policy and planning are a work in progress and that much
further work is needed for universities to achieve their language
goals. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Current Issues in Language Planning.
