Recenzii

As universities throughout the world strive to internationalize, many are introducing English as a medium of instruction. Does this mean the end of other languages as languages of education and scholarship? Or can English co-exist with other languages in higher education? The Chapters in this valuable and highly informative collection examine these and related questions against a range of specific contexts. This should be required reading for all involved in the internationalization of higher education.Andy Kirkpatrick, Griffith University, AustraliaFrom a range of thought-provoking perspectives, this book provides a timely and critical account of the challenges specific to various tertiary contexts where English-medium instruction (EMI) has been implemented. It raises important issues worthy of further reflection and research concerning the effectiveness of EMI, including the perennial challenge of integrating both language and content objectives and the pressing issue of how EMI can be implemented to foster rather than hinder a multilingual mindset.Roy Lyster, McGill University, CanadaUniversities worldwide are increasingly squeezed for resources, and many academics have become wary of buzzwords such as 'internationalization' and 'innovation', linked to 'mobility' and 'quality assurance'. There are concerns that English-medium instruction may sometimes be expediently used as a panacea for coping with market-driven needs without being well enough understood as the very complex phenomenon it is. Addressing many difficult questions head-on, this timely book will be a rich resource for all those who wish to think through for themselves the intricate issues involved in this global trend in an informed and critical way.Barbara Seidlhofer, University of Vienna, Austria
