Hi TeachLingers,

I teach a class on world English(es). There are two assessments: a series of 
mini-essays relating to the lectures; and a research interview with someone from 
another country (about the use of English there).

One of the mini-essay questions is about international use of English in higher 
education. At present it's quite a general question looking at contemporary debate. I 
want to tweak this question to make it more specific, focusing on universities' 
institutional language policies. I was thinking of making it into a task where they 
search online for, say, five universities' language policies in different countries 
(using key words like '[city] university language policy English') and then 
systematically comparing them on a set of key themes which should come up in most of 
them, like international recruitment (of staff and students), mobility, research 
publications, etc.

Does anyone currently set any assignments like this? Any suggestions if so?

Dave
