Englishization of Higher Education in Europe

Robert Wilkinson conducts research on English-medium instruction and multilingualism. René Gabriëls’s current research concerns English-medium instruction and food banks. Both work in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Maastricht University, Netherlands.

The book edited by Robert Wilkinson and Rene Gabriëls offers a versatile look into the various tensions between English and the majoritized and minoritized languages in European higher education. It adds to the literature on English in European higher education by showing in practice how contextualized the role of English in the end is.,- Taina Saarinen, Higher Education, issue 87(1), 2024
