Frontmatter -- Acknowledgments -- Foreword -- Contents -- List of figures -- List of tables -- Chapter 1 Introduction: Higher education and language policies -- Chapter 2 When education institutions reproduce dominant ideas – social, cultural and linguistic capital -- Chapter 3 Different people, different languages, same planet – globalization, multilingualism and super-diversity -- Chapter 4 When universities move beyond their walls and borders – internationalization of higher education -- Chapter 5 When intervention is necessary to foster interaction among different speakers – language policies (and multilingualism) -- Chapter 6 Basic inquiry inspired in a real problem – design-based research on language policies -- Chapter 7 Language policy documents and what they say/mean to institutions and their communities -- Chapter 8 Bringing it all together – a model of language policy, with multilingual aspects, for the internationalization of higher education -- Appendix 1 Initial questionnaire (Online) -- Appendix 2 Expanded questionnaire (Online) -- References -- Index
Summary: Higher education institutions (HEIs) are increasingly affected by globalization and internationalization, with implications for language use, teaching and learning in their academic communities. As a consequence, HEIs may change their approach to multilingualism on campus, taking into account language needs as well as opportunities and challenges associated with language diversity. The book aims at discussing aspects for the design of language policies, which could support internationalization and promote multilingualism and participation of different stakeholders. By presenting a language policy model, the book provides an alternative for those engaged in language diversity in HEIs.
