Summary:
As a result of globalization, higher education institutions throughout
the world are adopting English for parts of their education. Higher
education is becoming increasingly international and thus
linguistically diverse, for educational, idealistic and financial
reasons. This book presents a much-needed description of English as a
lingua franca (ELF) from an international university setting and
focuses on form and pragmatic issues, using authentic spoken data. It
provides useful insights into how communicative effectiveness can be
achieved in spoken lingua franca communication.
