This book takes a critical look at why issues of language in higher education are routinely marginalised, despite the growing internationalisation of universities. It locates the construction of rhetorical norms and values for academic writing within wider cultural practices and power relations, and observes the transformative dynamic of intercultural communication in the contemporary western academy.
