About this book

This volume brings together theoretical perspectives and empirical studies on the ongoing Englishization of Nordic universities. A core objective is to contrast and address the gap between ideological representations of this phenomenon and the ways in which it unfolds in the practices on the ground. The book provides perspectives from five Nordic countries: Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland, with one chapter from each country focusing on ideologies and another on practices. The book is intended to provide an up-to-date resource on the internationalization and Englishization of Nordic universities for scholars, policy makers and anyone wishing to gain an overview of current issues in the field.

Reviews

Xavier Martin-Rubió, in Language Policy 16 (2017):
Englishization is a global phenomenon. This volume presents a multi-faceted approach to the subject by establishing a dialogue, [...], between ideologies and practices. The volume would be of interest to a great variety of students and researchers: those currently conducting research in the phenomenon will encounter sound, up-to-date findings; those involved with other topics within the field will benefit from a varied and balanced collection of papers that use different data sources, methods, and analytical approaches.
