Rethinking the Roles of ELT in English-Medium Education in Multilingual University Settings: An Introduction
Dafouz, Emma; Gray, John
ELT Journal, v76 n2 p163-171 Apr 2022
The Introduction to this Special Issue on ELT and English-medium education in multilingual university settings provides a picture of the dynamic backdrop to the issues addressed by our contributing writers. We begin with a reflection on the nature of ELT and then move to a discussion of the specific nature of English-medium education in higher education globally. The Introduction underlines the importance of respecting and drawing on students' multilingual repertoires, and the opportunities this affords for decolonising ELT in university settings.
