English Language Standards in Higher Education: From Entry to Exit

By Sarah Richardson

The monumental impact of globalisation on the higher education sector has placed the English language skills of tertiary students firmly under the spotlight. This book addresses the inherent issues faced by a growing band of transnational students, the lecturers across all disciplines who are charged with delivering the courses, and the universities in both English-speaking nations and those where English is the primary medium of instruction. This book is the quintessential resource for busy academics, language policymakers, researchers and senior administrators to ensure the English language proficiency of students is not only present at the time of entry, but upheld and enhanced throughout their tertiary studies, in preparation for life beyond.
