This book views the international university as a microcosm of a
world where internationalization does not equate with
across-the-board use of English, but rather with the practice of
linguistic and cultural diversity, even in the face of Anglophone
dominance. The globalization-localization continuum manifests
itself in every university trying to adopt internationalization
strategies. The many cases of language and learning issues
presented in this book, from universities representing different
parts of the world, are all manifestations of a multidimensional
space encompassing local vs. global, diversification vs.
Anglicization. The internationalization of universities represents
a new cultural and linguistic hybridity with the potential to
develop new forms of identities unfettered by traditional
'us-and-them' binary thinking, and a new open-mindedness about the
roles of self and others, resulting in new patterns of
communicative (educational and social) practices.
