Language Policy and the Internationalization of Universities

En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on the internationalization of higher education, this book examines the critical role of language, particularly English, in shaping academic environments. It addresses the sociolinguistic challenges arising from language policy developments in Estonian higher education, exploring whether English serves as an opportunity or a threat to national languages. By adopting a discourse approach, it highlights language as both a site of struggle and a strategic resource for individuals and groups. The book is valuable for scholars in language policy, linguistic anthropology, and discourse studies.
