Annotation

This study claims that the idea that university internationalisation requires the select use of English as a lingua franca is really fallacious. It shows that albeit there is a quantitative predilection for English in three student project groups in a multilingual university that fits the programme's general pro-English language ideology, the groups for all that generate, to diverse rates, practice-based bottom-up language policies that enable alternating and occasionally syncretic English and Danish usage.
