Abstract:

This book addresses how Western universities have constructed themselves as
global providers of education, and are driven to be globally competitive. It
examines how the term ‘international’ has been exploited by the market in the
form of government educational policies and agencies, host institutions,
academia and the mass media. The book explores matters relating to the role of
the English language in international education in general and the field of
TESOL in particular. It demonstrates how English and TESOL have exercised
their symbolic power, coupled with the desire for international education, to
create convenient identities for international TESOL students. It also
discusses the complexity surrounding and informing these students’ painful yet
sophisticated appropriation of and resistance to the convenient labels they
are subjected to.

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics
