Abstract:

In today's increasingly interconnected, knowledge-based world, language policy
in higher education is rapidly becoming a crucial area for all societies
aiming to play a part in the global economy. The challenge is double faceted:
how can universities retain their crucial role of creating the intellectual
elites who are indispensable for the running of national affairs and, at the
same time, prepare their best-educated citizens for competition in a global
market? To what extent is English really pushing other languages out of the
academic environment? Drawing on the experience of several medium-sized
language communities, this volume provides the reader with some important
insights into how language policies can be successfully implemented. The
different sociolinguistic contexts under scrutiny offer an invaluable
comparative standpoint to understand what position can – or could – be
occupied by each language at the level of higher education.
