In today's increasingly interconnected, knowledge-based world, language policy in higher education is rapidly becoming a crucial area for all societies aiming to play a part in the global economy. The challenge is double faceted: how can universities retain their crucial role of creating the intellectual elites who are indispensable for the running of national affairs and, at the same time, prepare their best-educated citizens for competition in a global market? To what extent is English really pushing other languages out of the academic environment? Drawing on the experience of several medium-sized language communities, this volume provides the reader with some important insights into how language policies can be successfully implemented. The different sociolinguistic contexts under scrutiny offer an invaluable comparative standpoint to understand what position can - or could - be occupied by each language at the level of higher education.

"Dyskretny urok Śląska" wpisuje się w cykl śląski Evy Tvrdej, współczesnej pisarki z czeskiej strony Śląska. Eva Tvrdá przenosi nas kilkanaście kilometrów na południowy zachód od Raciborza, do Rohova w Kraiku Hulczyńskim, na Śląsku Opawskim. Przeplatając kronikę miejscowości z opowiadaniami pokazuje losy mieszkańców pogranicza trwających w swojej małej ojczyźnie pomimo przetaczającej się nad ich głowami wielkiej polityki i historii. "Dyskretny urok Śląska" przypomina, że patrzenie na Śląsk jedynie z perspektywy polsko-niemieckiej mocno zawęża kulturowe bogactwo regionu.
