DESCRIPTION:Join our book workshop on emerging China English\, with Dr Al
 ex Baratta\, Dr Rui He\, and Dr Paul Smith from Manchester Institute of 
 Education.\n\n"In this chapter we [the speakers] discuss possible resear
 ch directions derived from the linguistic mismatch of university assessm
 ent expectations regarding standard English\, and the lived reality of i
 nternational students using one of many varieties of English. As such\, 
 we argue that decolonisation of the curriculum can be addressed by a bas
 ic linguistic awareness on the part of lecturers\, to better understand 
 how an international student body – here\, with Chinese international st
 udents as the example – uses English in ways that are different but not 
 deficient. Awareness of language can reflect awareness of culture\, a ke
 y part of making campuses more ‘international’."\n\nABOUT THE ORGANISERS
 \nThe Manchester China Institute (MCI) promotes multidisciplinary resear
 ch\, teaching and programming with impact beyond academia\, seeking to r
 emedy class\, racial\, gender\, and other inequalities\, and to improve 
 mutual understanding in UK-China relations.\n\nThe Manchester Institute 
 of Education (MIE) facilitates research at the cutting edge of theory an
 d practice. MIE's international research expertise crosses diverse areas
  including: critical pedagogies and maths education\, educational policy
  and leadership\, equality\, disadvantage and poverty and educational ps
 ychology.\n\nNOTES\nMCI’s book workshops are held in person at the Manch
 ester China Institute. They seek to bring together students\, faculty\, 
 and staff who can best provide feedback as the presenting researchers de
 velop their ideas. Refreshments will be provided.\n\nAccessibility: Plea
