"The status quo" of English as the world lingua franca (Choi, 2016; Fang, 2017; Kusumaningputri & Widodo, 2018; Liu & Fang, 2017), the increasing role of English as an additional language for nowadays Indonesian generation (Lauder, 2008), and the nature of Indonesian EFL students as multicultural people (Hamied, 2012; Sukyadi,…

ELF cross-cultural interactions and mediation processes in specialized migration settings are often characterized by 'gatekeeping' asymmetries between the participants involved challenging a successful meaning negotiation (Guido, 2008).

Bailey, Adrian J.; Mupakati, Liberty; Magunha, Farai M. – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2017
While skilled migrants make influential contributions to development through remitting cash and exchanging knowledge, we argue for greater scrutiny of the role of language in the so-called "migration-development nexus". Noting the transnational context within which the everyday life of many migrants proceeds, we develop a broader reading…
