商品簡介
This book takes a critical look at why issues of language in higher education are routinely marginalised, despite the growing internationalisation of universities. It examines the norms of academic writing in the context of wider cultural practices and power relations, and suggests the transformative potential of the intercultural dynamic in the contemporary academy.
