Rethinking the roles of the LSP practitioner with regard to internationalization of higher education

The objective of courses for languages for specific purposes (LSP) within the higher education curriculum is to help students develop a new type of “literacy” in languages for specific purposes, which will enable their participation in various academic and (inter)cultural contexts. Due to a steady growth in students’ international educational experiences, LSP practitioners need to consider these new trends in tertiary education when designing LSP courses. Thus, the course syllabus and the resources used in the courses should ease the adjustment process of students in international educational settings. This report focuses on the contribution of LSP practitioners to their students’ academic achievement in the international arena by assuming various roles in the teaching and learning process, i.e. the role of a teacher, course designer and materials provider, collaborator, researcher, and evaluator. It highlights necessary changes LSP practitioners need to undergo in performing these roles in order to integrate the international and intercultural dimension into the course.
