Abstract
Despite the significant volume of research on language policy and language use, there is little support to multilingual practice in HE language policy and the HE classroom; this includes the Linguistic/Language classroom. In fact, internationalisation and international education is typically associated with global languages while universities operate at the interface of significant tensions that include the need for balancing international orientation with local embeddedness and national accreditation systems with providing flexibility and enabling international staff/student mobility. In this talk, I explore how our research on multilingualism can inform multilingual pedagogies. I draw on completed and ongoing work on transnational HE collaboration, learning communities and pedagogic innovation and multilingualism in the classroom. I discuss the case of an intensive study programme on Multilingualism and Diversity (MultiDiv) as an example and close the paper with reflections for HE language policy and future research.
