Abstract

In such a context, institutions are expected to recruit international students and teachers. This special issue focus on the roles and the impacts of plurilingual expatriate teachers in Higher Education as perceived and described by institutions, colleagues and students, in different contexts (Canada, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal and Switzerland).

The aim of this special issue is to pay a closer look not only on the policy of English as academia lingua franca, but also on other linguistic contexts and constellations.
