Abstract:

As English gains prominence as the language of higher education across the
world, many institutions and lecturers are becoming increasingly concerned
with the implications of this trend for the quality of university teaching and
learning. With an innovative approach in both theme and scope, this book
addresses four major competencies that are essential to ensure the
effectiveness of English-medium higher education: creativity, critical
thinking, autonomy and motivation. It offers an integrated perspective, both
theoretical and practical, which defines these competences from different
angles within ELT and Applied Linguistics, while also exploring their points
of contact and applications to classroom routines. This approach is intended
to provide practical guidance and inspiration, in the form of pedagogical
proposals, examples of teaching practice and cutting-edge research by scholars
and university teachers from all over the world. To that end, a leading
specialist in the field introduces each of the four competencies, explaining
concepts accessibly and synthetically, exposing false myths, presenting an
updated state of the art, and opening windows for future studies. These
introductions are followed by practitioner chapters written by teachers and
scholars from different cultures and university contexts, who reflect on their
experience and/or research and share effective procedures and suggestions for
the university class with English as a vehicle for instruction.
