Reihe: New Perspectives on Teaching Interculturality

Plurilingual and Intercultural Pedagogy for All in Higher Education provides a compelling rationale and practical approach for the integration of diverse voices and languages within the educational offering on postgraduate Englishmedium instruction programmes in higher education.

In making its case for plurilingual and intercultural approaches to English-medium education, the book critically engages with themes such as English-medium instruction pedagogies, interculturality, internationalisation at home, language commodification, language ideologies and student mobility. It catalogues and draws upon existing bi/plurilingual approaches to teaching and learning on English-medium instruction academic modules to propose a pedagogy tailored to such modules in global higher education. Designed to appeal to lecturers responsible for constructing syllabi and teaching and learning activities for English-medium instruction modules, the book presents a constructively aligned pedagogic approach and a sound rationale for integrating multiple student languages into academic modules. This enables educators from all disciplines to incorporate diverse perspectives into their syllabi and teaching.

This book is essential reading for educators across disciplines who wish to embrace linguistic and cultural diversity in their teaching. The internationally adaptable pedagogy presented will also be of interest to researchers, students and policymakers working in higher education.
