In today's increasingly interconnected, knowledge-based world,
language policy in higher education is rapidly becoming a crucial
area for all societies aiming to play a part in the global economy.
The challenge is double faceted: how can universities retain their
crucial role of creating the intellectual elites who are
indispensable for the running of national affairs and, at the same
time, prepare their best-educated citizens for competition in a
global market? To what extent is English really pushing other
languages out of the academic environment? Drawing on the
experience of several medium-sized language communities, this
volume provides the reader with some important insights into how
language policies can be successfully implemented. The different
sociolinguistic contexts under scrutiny offer an invaluable
comparative standpoint to understand what position can - or could -
be occupied by each language at the level of higher education.
