By Lee Skallerup Bessette. We are, the participants at the MLA, lovers of words. Words from scores of different languages, expressed in different styles, wielded in a myriad of ways. Words that inspire, words that provoke, words that expose our vulnerability, but also words that weave us together in ways that can empower us. Read more...

By Masaaki Kameda. Exposure to start in third grade for basic communication ability by junior high. A reform plan released in mid-December by the education ministry looks to bolster English study from elementary to high school from the 2020 academic year to pursue globalization.
Education minister Hakubun Shimomura said he hopes the reforms transform English education in a practical way, not just as a tool for entrance exams. More...
Par Sylvestre Huet. La météo du temps qu'il fait autour de notre planète nous dit quelque chose de l'espèce humaine. Son unité, sa diversité, la nécessité de veiller à ces deux caractéristiques. C'est affiché sur un mur, en 4 mètres sur 2, à Anvers, dans cette Belgique où la querelle linguistique est agitée par des idéologues aux relents douteux. Et où se tient cette semaine un congrès scientifique sur la "météo spatiale". En 55 langues différentes, on y lit un texte unique dont l'histoire mérite d'être racontée. Suite...
Le site internet des pôles de compétitivité (www.competitivite.gouv.fr) évolue, pour plus de visibilité à l’international. Il se dote de deux espaces, en anglais et en espagnol.
Ces deux espaces présentent une arborescence et des contenus analogues. Ils ont essentiellement vocation à présenter la politique des pôles à l’international et à faire connaître les pôles français à l’international. Ils contiennent chacun une base de données des 71 pôles, ainsi qu’une carte interactive en anglais et en espagnol. Des requêtes par domaine d’activité, région ou en champs libre sont désormais possibles. Ils sont destinés à identifier facilement des pôles de compétitivité et à favoriser les prises de contact. Sont également privilégiés, les liens en anglais et en espagnol vers les sites internet des pôles, leurs vidéos de présentation et leurs flux rss.

By Joyce Kling. The implementation of English as the medium of instruction (EMI) has caught the attention of international offices and department heads as a means of recruiting students from around the globe. In Denmark, EMI programmes have been in place for over 20 years. At the start, much of the focus was on course content and availability. However, as the years progressed, concerns pertaining to the adequacy of linguistic proficiency for teaching and learning have been debated across the country. More...
By Archie Pollock and Nannette Ripmeester. Learning a foreign language is on many an individual’s bucket list. To converse in a language other than your mother tongue can feel tremendously exciting and rewarding, and above all, it can dramatically improve your experience when visiting a country which speaks the language you have learned. The option to study abroad comes as a welcome opportunity to take on this challenge, but are students and universities doing enough to learn/teach the language to a useful level? More...
By Caio H Montanheiro Goncalves and Luciana Romano Morilas. Brazilian universities have faced language challenges during the last decades of internationalisation because Portuguese is not a worldwide spoken language, despite being the only language spoken in this huge country. In Brazil, no one needs to speak any other language. Therefore, if you visit the country, you’d better learn some basic expressions, or hire an interpreter. In universities, this prospect changes a little but international students will still have to dedicate some time to learning the language. More...
By Suad Alhalwachi. A fourth article in the Forum series on the role of language in international education, this piece looks at the situation of languages in the Middle East. Some language learning opportunities beyond English courses are beginning to open up, but it is slow progress, and there is not a great push for learning other foreign languages. The demand may exist, but the means to undertake additional learning are sparse. More...
