Knowledge, interaction and language beyond the EMI classroom
English-medium instruction (EMI), often linked to internationalization, is a growing area globally in diverse contexts, and inevitably works within the context of local language(s). Furthermore, university curricula are situated within local and global contexts, oriented to academic disciplines but also mindful of graduates’ future work/life prospects. This article examines how local undergraduate students in the United Arab Emirates navigate the…
How Do Factors External to Statutory Guidance Influence Approved Mental Health Professionals, When Making Decisions During Assessments with Service Users Presenting with Suicidal Ideation
Approved Mental Health Professionals (AMHP) are often required to assess people experiencing suicidal thinking and they must make difficult decisions in challenging circumstances that require a range of factors to be considered, not least the safety of the person being assessed. This study explores some of the inherent challenges involved in this work and considers the preparedness of AMHPs, the complex dynamics that inform decision making and fi…
Social Work Law
Recent years have seen a significant period of change in relation to social work law, albeit its implementation has been frustrated with reform frequently delayed due to national challenges in relation to the UK’s exit from the European Union and the impact of the global pandemic. Understandably, these events have taken the focus away from the implementation of domestic law, particularly in relation to mental health legislation. Evans and Harvey’…
Lexical sophistication across languages
Recent multilingual perspectives view second language writing as part of a language user’s dynamic multilingual repertoire, always occurring in the (cognitive and social) context of some first language(s), and often of first language literacy and/or use of other languages. This paper focuses on one element of written language (lexical sophistication), and examines preliminary findings about this variable across languages in a sample of undergradu…
‘This is my life style, Arabic and English’
Translanguaging is defined by Canagarajah as ‘the ability of multilingual speakers to shuttle between languages, treating the diverse languages that form their repertoire as an integrated system’. University students in our own working context have grown up in a multilingual society and study courses in both Arabic (their first language) and English (the main language of instruction). They encounter new concepts and perspectives in both languages…

A Funky Language for Teenzz to Use
Computer-mediated communication (CMC) users writing in Arabic often represent Arabic in ‘ASCII-ized’ form, using the Latin alphabet rather than the Arabic alphabet normally used in other contexts (Warschauer, El Said, & Zohry, 2002). Analyzing ASCII-ized Arabic (AA) can give insights into ways in which CMC is shaped by linguistic, technological and social factors. This paper presents a study of AA as used among female university students in the U…

Othering in an English Language Program
In this article, I discuss how the administrators and local teachers in a Turkish university English language centre perceive others in the institution. I present interview data to illustrate processes of Othering, whereby a group constructs a shared, Us-Them representation of another group. The data show that administrators and local teachers view students and each other in terms of difference from themselves. In constructing such representation…

‘How I got it in my head’
This paper investigates the knowledge about language of four trainee EFL teachers, in the light of recent theoretical writing about the relationship of expert and novice knowledge, and about native and non‐native language teachers. A recording of two lesson‐planning discussions is analysed in‐depth, in terms of the teachers’ assumptions about language (including meaning and form) and language‐learning; and of the means by which differences betwee…
