Abstract

Transnational higher education (TNHE), often based on export models of Western-based universities and driven by neoliberal market economy agendas, has spread across the globe. One example of TNHE is Qatar’s Education City where six prestigious American international branch campuses (IBCs) all administer their degrees through English medium instruction (EMI). While there is a burgeoning amount of research investigating and problematizing issues in EMI higher education institutions, IBCs are a unique EMI setting due to their heavy reliance on importing faculty, staff, curricula and practices from their home campuses. Thus, this study takes an ethnographic case study approach to examine the language planning and policy and linguistic landscape at one IBC in Qatar. Drawing on multiple sources of data, the study reveals both the overt and covert language policies and ideologies of the institution and its various stakeholders, and the extent to which languages other than English are used and accepted.

EMI与国际分校

跨国高等教育（TNHE）通常以西方大学的出口模式为基础，受新自由主义市场经济议程的驱动，已经在全球蔓延。TNHE的一个例子是卡塔尔的教育城，那里有六个著名的美国国际分校（IBC），都通过英语教学（EMI）管理学位。尽管越来越多的研究调查和解决EMI高等教育机构中的问题，但IBC是一个独特的EMI环境，因为它们严重依赖从本土引进教师、员工、课程和实践。因此，本研究采用人种学案例研究的方法来考察卡塔尔IBC的语言规划、政策和语言景观。该研究利用多种数据来源，揭示了该机构及其各种利益相关者公开和隐蔽的语言政策和意识形态，以及英语以外的语言被使用和接受的程度。
