Sarah Hopkyns; Sender Dovchin; Shaila Sultana – Current Issues in Language Planning, 2025
English-medium instruction (EMI) is on the rise around the world due to globalization, internationalization and neoliberal ideologies which equate English with social capital, prestige, and success in the labour market.

Heugh, Kathleen; Stroud, Christopher; Scarino, Angela – Current Issues in Language Planning, 2019
In this paper we draw attention to people who journey from one temporal and spatial setting towards another in the 'South', who aspire to a reconfigured sense of belonging, prosperity and wellbeing, and their multilinguality and multilingualisms.

Dang, Thi Kim Anh; Vu, Thao Thi Phuong – Current Issues in Language Planning, 2020
The literature on English-medium instruction (EMI) has predominantly focused on contexts where English is not the first language.

The highly internationalised Australian higher education has witnessed a growing…

Amery, Rob – Current Issues in Language Planning, 2019

At times,…

Moore, Paul J.; Harrington, Michael – Current Issues in Language Planning, 2016
Policy-makers and practitioners in Australian higher education increasingly view English language proficiency (ELP) as a tripartite construct consisting of English proficiency for academic study, interpersonal communication, and more recently, the workplace. This paper examines this assumption and identifies the significant implications it has for…

Fenton-Smith, Ben; Gurney, Laura – Current Issues in Language Planning, 2016
Nearly two decades have passed since Kaplan and Baldauf [1997. "Language planning from practice to theory."
