Call for papers:

Internationalisation and English medium education: language, policy and
practice
Thematic number, edited by Ute Smit and Patrick Studer, of the ''European
Journal of Language Policy/Revue européenne de politique linguistique''
(planned for Autumn 2021).

Internationalisation of Higher Education has received much attention over the
past twenty years, both as an object of policy-making and a subject of
theoretical scrutiny. While the 'Englishization' of higher education has
formed a central element of internationalisation, the transformative impact of
this development on teaching and learning is often not fully recognised. There
is now an increasing body of research into what has been labelled diversely as
English-Medium Instruction (EMI), Integrating Content and Language in Higher
Education (ICLHE) or English Medium Education in Multilingual University
Settings (EMEMUS). While studies emerging from these research activities focus
on a variety of linguistic or pedagogical topics, they tend to offer only
fragmentary snapshots of what in fact are long-term and complex
language-in-education policy developments linked to local internationalising
processes. Further research is needed to describe and critically review the
discourses and processes underlying language-in-education policy developments
leading to particular English-medium practices.

This volume wishes to address the resulting research gap by (a) foregrounding
critical evaluations and assessments of English-medium educational practices
at or across HEIs that are (b) thoroughly embedded in recent theorising,
taking account of language-in-education policies (LEP) and language as an
integral component of internationalisation.

We invite papers that explore one or several of the questions below:
- To what extent are internationalisation policies and English-medium
educational policies convergent or divergent? How are language and
communication conceptualised through the lens of internationalisation? How do
these conceptualisations inform and reflect stakeholder views and
English-medium education in practice?
- To what extent are institutional visions & missions reflected (or not) in
policies, their implementation and educational practices? What are the gaps
between policy on paper, its implementation and resulting educational
practices and how do they develop over time? What institutional learning
processes can(not) be observed?
- What conceptualisations of language, and English in particular, are integral
to English-medium educational policies and practices? Under which
circumstances is English (or other languages) conceptualised as a commodity or
tool, a specific register, as an element of knowledge and communication in
teaching and learning? How is (which) English positioned sociolinguistically? 
- What roles are played by specific social actors at which stage of policy
planning and implementation? Who is responsible for shaping specific language
conceptualisations connected to English-medium educational practices? 

Proposals should be sent in the form of an abstract (up to 300 words) and a
curriculum vitae (up to 2 pages) to the Editor, Prof Michael Kelly
(M.H.Kelly at soton.ac.uk) by Friday 8 November 2019. Manuscripts may be in
English or French and will be required by 31 March 2020.
The journal is peer-reviewed and published by Liverpool University Press, in
association with the European Language Council. Further details including
