Successful university teaching in times of diversity offers a contemporary, practical and effective introduction to university teaching. This book, edited by Nicola Rolls, Senior Lecturer at Charles Darwin University (Australia), Andrew Northedge and Ellie Chambers, Emeritus Professors at the Open University (UK), suggests practical tips with solid theoretical foundations aimed at equipping university teachers with transferable skills to enable them to face a multitude of challenges in current diverse university contexts. Throughout the book, there is a strong emphasis on the important underlying role of language and communication for learning and engaging with academic knowledge. Given the clear emphasis on academic language and learning, this book is to be highly recommended to academic language and learning practitioners, not only for their own teaching, but also in their efforts to work collaboratively with subject academics across all disciplines.
