The transition to teaching in English across the university sector has become the most significant trend in highereducation in the 21st century. However, research highlights that internationalisation policy decisions are runningahead of awareness, capacities and practical knowledge regarding how to implement this policy in effective,context sensitive and sustainable ways. Further, the globalisation of English has numerous implications for how itshould be taught as an international language.The ELINET network emerged from my research in the fields of English Medium Instruction (EMI) and GlobalEnglishes, two rapidly growing sub-fields of Applied Linguistics gathering momentum. I am a leading scholar in theformer field and established the field of Global Englishes and a new approach to teaching English as a globallanguage (Global Englishes Language Teaching). The research underpinning the venture stems from books (7),chapters (16), research reports (4), articles (23) and a new edited handbook on the globalisation of English. Italso stems from externally facing engagement and impact activities, which include the growing popularity of mytextbook, invites for advisory work from Ministries of Education and professional organisations and plenaryinvites at conferences, given the interest in both of these fields.
