Introduction: Language Matters in Higher Education

• The introductory chapter is designed to set the scene for the different contributing chapters in the book Language Matters in Higher Education Contexts – Policy and Practice. Two overarching themes, ‘internationalisation’ and ‘societal responsibility,’ are identified in relation to language matters in higher education. These themes are both intertwined and nestled together, which sometimes causes significant tensions or fluxing borders. Within these chapters, researchers from different higher education institutions in several European countries bring up emerging and current language issues relating to the ever-increasing urge for universities to be and become international.
