Abstract:

The general perception that a good command of English is enough to gain access
and to be successful in higher education hides the complexity of learning and
teaching in multilingual environments, and this book shows that all higher
education environments are multilingual to some extent. Strategies like
translation, interpreting and switching from one language to another not only
support learning but also build competence for multilingual professional
environments. Whether institutions focus on widening access to minoritised
communities or whether they want to attract more international students, the
book argues that a multilingual pedagogy is needed to improve student access
and success. Building on work by Nancy Hornberger, Colin Baker and Ofelia
García, the book extends strategies and techniques from bilingual education at
school level to multilingual higher education.
