    Linguistic Diversity on the EMI Campus presents an in-depth ethnographic case study of the language policies and practices of universities in nine countries around the world. Each chapter provides a detailed presentation of the findings from that university, considering the presence of linguistic diversity in institutions from Australia, China, Finland, UK, Turkey, Malaysia, Italy, Spain, and Japan. Split into three parts, these nine case studies demonstrate the extent to which international-oriented institutions can learn from each other’s practices and improve their language policies. Linguistic Diversity on the EMI Campus is vital reading for students and scholars working in the fields of applied linguistics, multilingualism, and education.

    Biography

    Jennifer Jenkins is Chair Professor of Global Englishes at Southampton University, where she is founding director of the Centre for Global Englishes. She has published numerous monographs, edited volumes, articles, and chapters on ELF since 1996, including her first monograph, The Phonology of English as an International Language (2000), and The Routledge Handbook of English as a Lingua Franca (co-edited with Will Baker and Martin Dewey, 2017).

    Anna Mauranen is Professor and Research Director at the University of Helsinki. She is co-editor of Applied Linguistics and former co-editor of the Journal of English as a Lingua Franca. Recent books include Changing English (2017, edited with Filppula, Klemola, and Vetchinnikova) and Exploring ELF (2012).

    "This cutting-edge volume is remarkable for its global coverage and methodological coherence, as nine research teams around the globe address the same research questions exploring the interplay between internationalization, language policies, and practices. It unveils tensions between the dichotomous ideologies of national languages versus English as an academic lingua franca."
