Angles of the English-Speaking World: English in Denmark - Language
Policy, Internationalization and University Teaching v. 9

Volume 9 takes up the questions - national, sociolinguistic,
strategic, economic and educational - which arise in relation to the
increasing use of English alongside national or vernacular languages,
focusing on its use as the language of instruction in Danish
Universities. Inevitably, this also makes globalisation a theme of
this issue. The dilemmas of the universities, however, have a special
character within this wider issue, partly because they are in the
frontline of globalisation processes, and partly because they are
regarded as having new and enhanced social significance in the
post-industrial society. In addition to the academic articles in this
issue there is a series of 'position statements' written by some of
the major participants in the Danish debate on language policy in the
universities. They were invited to state in about 500 words their
essential views on the theme. Their contributions give some of the
flavour of the argument that has been going on with increasing
intensity in Denmark for the past ten years.
