Abstract

English as a global lingua franca has enabled the mobility of students from the South to the North in the pursuit of a quality education and social and economic welfare with which English is imagined as a convertible cultural capital (Park & Wee, 2012). Their mobility shapes the recent outlook of higher education in many universities of the Global North countries, where bi-or multilingual speakers with English become indispensable parts of the institution. Chowdhury and Phan (2014) argue that the brand of international, as well as diversity or multiculturalism in many cases, is an effective marketing strategy to further attract students from diverse regions and lingua-cultural backgrounds. Through this way, the universities are able to generate revenue by mostly targeting students from the Global South as fertile consumers at the compensation of knowledge market transfer (Zajda, 2020).
