The student demographic of universities today has changed quite
dramatically from even a decade ago. As universities seek to
internationalise, widen participation and derive attendant
reputational and financial benefits, along with greater
opportunities for research collaborations and industry links, they
also face a growing challenge associated with what Neil Murray
terms 'the English language question'. In particular, as the
proportion of students of non-English speaking backgrounds entering
universities increases, there is growing concern over levels of
language proficiency and what this can mean for educational
standards, the student experience and, ultimately, institutional
standing. Standards of English in Higher Education unpacks a number
of key and interrelated issues - for example, the assessment of
proficiency and the structure and nature of provision - that bear
on the question of English language standards, and in doing so
offers a frank and critical appraisal of English language in higher
education today.
