Professional biography
Dr. Anna Kristina Hultgren (DPhil Oxon, MA Copenhagen, Cert LSE, SFHEA) is UKRI Future Leaders Fellow and Professor at The Open University. Born in Sweden, Kristina is a sociolinguist who, following her MA in English and French linguistics, made a brief detour into the international speech and language technology industry, before gaining her DPhil in sociolinguistics from the University of Oxford in 2009. She then undertook two Postdoctoral Fellowships at the University of Copenhagen before being appointed, in 2013, as Lecturer, and, in 2017, as Senior Lecturer, in English Language and Applied Linguistics at The Open University, UK. A linguist by training, Kristina holds a certificate in public policy analysis from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Her research has been funded by the UKRI, Leverhulme Trust, Danish Research Council, Carlsberg Foundation, British Council, British Association for Applied Linguistics, and others. In 2021, she was awarded a Personal Chair in recognition of her contributions to research and academic leadership.
Kristina reviews research proposals for the European Research Council, European Science Foundation, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, UK Research and Innovation, Economic and Social Sciences Research Council, Newton International Fellowship, British Academy, British Association for Applied Linguistics, and some National Research Councils around the world. She is Reviews Editor for Applied Linguistics and serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of English-Medium Instruction, Journal of English for Research Publication Purposes, Journal of Applied Language Studies and Routledge Studies in English-Medium Instruction. Kristina served on the Executive Committee of the British Association for Applied Linguistics (2017-2021) and was member of the Young Academy of Denmark, The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters (2011–2014).
Research interests
Kristina's work forges interdisciplinary collaborations in the intersection of linguistics and political science to uncover fundamental principles driving Englishization and its consequences for linguistic and social justice. Kristina is Principal Investigator of ELEMENTAL, a large, collaborative, interdisciplinary, UKRI-funded project that seeks to trace the causal mechanism between past decades’ higher education governance reforms and English as a language of teaching in European higher education. This work, which aims to unlock a step change in sociolinguistics by uncovering links between governance reforms and Englishization, was recognised with a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship award in 2020. Kristina is also Principal Investigator of EMEGEN, a British Council-funded project exploring the link between gender equality and English as a Medium of Education.
Research students keen to work in an area related to Englishization of education, the sociolinguistics of globalization, language policy, and English as a medium of instruction are welcome to get in touch. Below are some current and completed research projects supervised by Kristina:
- Karim Karmi (PhD): English as a Medium of Instruction in Tunisian Higher Education Institutions: Exploring Attitudes, Challenges and Opportunities
- An Nguyen (PhD): Effects of the Medium of Instruction on students’ agency: A comparative study between Vietnamese and English Medium of Instruction at a Vietnamese university
- Natalia Smirnova (PhD): Contemporary writing for publication practices of Russian scholars: What are their strategies and values, ideologies?
- Pallavi (PhD): Monolingual ideologies and translanguaging practices: A study of multilingual Indian classrooms (completed)
- Simone Stuers (EdD): English as a medium of instruction in higher education in Germany: A study into English language entry requirements (completed)
- Stephen Jennings (EdD): Implementing English language teaching reform in higher education in Japan: A case study of Japanese English teachers in a science university (completed)
Teaching interests
Kristina has held teaching positions at Oxford, Copenhagen, Edge Hill and The Open University. Her research-led teaching ensures students are kept abreast of cutting-edge academic debates. As Chair of English Grammar in Context and Language, Literacy and Learning, Kristina has created and delivered innovative distance learning modules at undergraduate and postgraduate level. Kristina is Senior Academic Reviewer for the Arab Open University and External Examiner for the University of Birmingham's MA in Applied Linguistics.
Impact and engagement
Kristina's research seeks to make a positive impact in the world through advancing linguistic, social and educational justice. Her research on gender and English as a medium of instruction in low- and middle-income countries seeks to make a positive difference towards Goal 5 in the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. This work reaches out to educational policymakers in low- and middle-income countries who are under obligation to improve gender equality as part of the Sustainable Development Goals. It also co-creates a set of Open Educational Resources with teachers who wish to extend their agency by making their teaching more gender-inclusive. Her work in European higher education seeks to raise awareness of lesser known links between goverance reforms and the rise of English with a view to improving higher education governance and creating more equitable linguistic, educational and societal conditions. Kristina's work has underpinned the championing of ‘parallel language policy’ – the dual use of the national Nordic languages alongside English – across the Nordic higher education sector and informed the British Council’s position paper on English in Higher Education.

This is a University of Westminster led project investigating policies and practices of English Medium Education in selected higher education institutions in four ODA (Official Development Assistance) contexts. The cases have been chosen to represent different positions on the ODA continuum, from ‘least developed’ (Nepal and Bangladesh) to ‘upper middle income’ (Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan). The overarching objective is to understand the role of English in creating, mediating and perpetuating inequality in global higher education. | |||
English as a Medium of Instruction in European Higher Education: Challenges and Opportunities for Europe and the UK

In the past few decades, higher education institutions in non-Anglophone Europe have seen a dramatic increase by more than 1,000% in English-taught programmes. Despite a recent surge in interest in this phenomenon, mainly from Sociolinguists and Applied Linguists, the reasons why it happens are not yet fully understood, arguably due to a failure of researchers to sufficiently engage with academic governance. The overarching hypothesis to test in this project is whether English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) is an explicit policy decision or whether it happens indirectly as a - perhaps unintended - consequence of ‘New Public Management’, an approach to governance which draws on techniques from the private sector to enhance the quality and efficiency of public institutions. Derived from the UK, this type of governance has increasingly been adopted by European higher education institutions (Broucker and De Wit 2015; Enders et al. 2011; European Commission 2011). As EMI is expected to continue to grow and has profound economic, educational, professional and societal implications not just for non-Anglophone Europe but also for the UK, the need for research into this area is both pressing and immense. Fieldwork will be conducted in higher education institutions in six European nation states that are known to differ in the amount of EMI offered. The aim is to gain an in-depth understanding of whether the variability in EMI can be traced to different institutional and national governance structures. A desk-based cross-case comparison will then be conducted of 15 higher education institutions in Europe to enable us to arrive at a generalized model of which institutional and national factors are conducive to EMI. Designed to assess causal inference, the methods of Process Tracing, borrowed from Political Science, and Qualitative Comparative Analysis will be employed. In combination, these two methods will enable us to obtain both an in-depth, contextually sensitive understanding as well as a generalizable model of the factors leading to EMI. The outcomes of the project will benefit both academics and wider society. The main theoretical outcome will be an understanding of how the implementation of specific governance structures impact on language shift and the valuation of different languages. The main societal benefit will accrue from a 'best practice' framework to ensure that EMI is delivered without adverse effects on teaching, learning and wider society. This will pave the way for the second stage of the project which will explore the opportunities brought by EMI to the UK English for Academic Purposes industry. In sum, by researching the causes of EMI and devising innovative solutions to facilitate a more thought-through implementation of it, the outcomes of the project will be of mutual benefit to both UK and non-Anglophone European economy and society. | |||
Researching English academic reading demands in content courses in two contrasting English-medium university domains (Nepal and Sweden) with reference to the potential role of TOEFL iBT reading tests
| Role | Start date | End date | Funding source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Co-investigator | 01 Mar 2017 | 31 Dec 2019 | TOEFL |
The TOEFL EMI project will draw on Evidence-Centred Design (ECD), identified as an important conceptual framework "for the design and delivery of educational assessments, organized around the idea of assessment as evidentiary argument" (Mislevy and Yin 2013). Within the ECD framework, the project will investigate the potential role of the TOEFL iBT examination in two diverse university contexts which use English as a medium of instruction (EMI), one in Sweden and the other in Nepal. Since reading is a key conduit by which university students must access content information, the project focuses on academic reading practices and on the potential role of TOIEFL iBT reading test materials in testing academic reading in such EMI settings. The project will accordingly research both domains in terms of academic reading practice and levels of ability, and as part of this will deploy TOEFL iBT reading tasks to test the reading of undergraduates in both contexts (n=100). If the TOEFL iBT exam is to be used in future in EMI contexts, such Domain Analysis is indispensable. The central aim of the project is therefore to elucidate the potential role of the TOEFL iBT test in testing academic reading in such contexts, and to recommend approaches to deploying the exam in such domains in future. | |||
