Abstract
In an increasingly interconnected world, all students in higher education, both those from overseas and local, need to learn and to understand how to use their discipline knowledge in practising their disciplines/professions in increasingly linguistically and culturally diverse contexts. The issue is particularly pressing for overseas students because their learning involves constantly moving between at least two languages and cultures (the students’ first language(s) and, typically, English) and, as such, is a continuously interlingual and intercultural process.
