In this book, Jennifer Jenkins, one of the leading proponents of
English as a Lingua Franca, explores current academic English
language policy in higher education around the world.
Universities around the world are increasingly presenting
themselves as "international" but their English language policies
do not necessarily reflect this, even as the diversity of their
student bodies grows. While there have been a number of attempts to
explore the implications of this diversity from a cultural
perspective, little has been said from the linguistic point of
view, and in particular, about the implications for what kind(s) of
English are appropriate for English lingua franca communication in
international higher education.
Throughout the book Jenkins considers the policies of English
language universities in terms of the language attitudes and
ideologies of university management and staff globally, and of
international students in a UK setting. The book concludes by
considering the implications for current policies and practices,
and what is needed in order for universities to bring themselves in
line linguistically with the international status they claim."
English as a Lingua Franca in the International University "is
an essential read for researchers and postgraduate students working
in the areas of Global Englishes, English as a Lingua Franca and
English for Academic Purposes.
