This book highlights that language matters permeate all areas of higher education and that language matters for everyone involved in academic institutions: in policy, in teaching and learning, in administration, in research and in leadership. The chapters in this volume address national, institutional and local levels, and range from legal texts to students' and teachers' stories across disciplines. It provides a useful picture for all those who work in the various fields of higher education.
