Morrison, Bruce; Evans, Stephen – Language Learning in Higher Education, 2018
In an increasingly globalised world, English-medium tertiary education has become increasingly prominent and sought after.

Caruso, Elisa – Language Learning in Higher Education, 2018
This article reports on research that questions the existence and use of translingual practices in higher education.

We describe some the…

The job expectations and requirements of the information age bring with them a need for a change in teaching and studying.

One of the areas affected…

Krekeler, Christian – Language Learning in Higher Education, 2013
The debate about the subject specificity of university language tuition has been going on for decades; it has mostly been discussed in the context of English for Academic Purposes.
