Language and culture play a critical role in the internationalisation of higher education institutions. However, despite this ubiquity and relevance, many institutions struggle with developing, implementing, and monitoring adequate policies in all university operations in various contexts with multiple stakeholders.
This workshop discusses achievements and challenges with examples from national, institutional, and disciplinary contexts, and builds in space for interaction and networking.
Based on insights from organisational change and experiences, the facilitators present a structured, contextual approach for effective policy development, implementation, and monitoring, and discuss how to engage multiple stakeholders and organise resources.
This workshop will help you:
- Understand language policies and developments in various contexts, with differences, commonalities, and dynamics
- Extend your personal and institutional networks
- Reflect on issues and policies
- Develop, implement, and monitor an institutional language policy
- Engage multiple stakeholders and organise resources
This workshop is designed for all staff working with or interested in language policies, particularly staff responsible for policy development, monitoring, and implementation.
