East and west at the International University.This book views the international university as a microcosm of a world where internationalization does not equate with across-the-board use of English, but rather with the practice of linguistic and cultural diversity, even in the face of Anglophone dominance. The globalization-localization continuum manifests itself in every university trying to adopt internationalization strategies. The many cases of language and learning issues presented in this book, from universities representing different parts of the world, are all manifestations of a multidimensional space encompassing local vs. global, diversification vs. Anglicization. The internationalization of universities represents a new cultural and linguistic hybridity with the potential to develop new forms of identities unfettered by traditional 'us-and-them' binary thinking, and a new open-mindedness about the roles of self and others, resulting in new patterns of communicative (educational and social) practices.Languages for intercultural communication and education ;21.English languageStudy and teachingForeign speakersSecond language acquisitionLanguage and cultureglobalization.higher education.internationalization.university.English languageStudy and teachingForeign speakers.Second language acquisition.Language and culture.428.0071/1Preisler Bent1945-154353Klitgård Ida1652562Fabricius Anne H1652563MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816208503321Language and learning in the international university4003298UNINA
