Integrating content and language in multilingual universities, edited by Slobodanka Dimova and Slobodanka Dimova was published in 2020. This collection provides a global perspective on integrating content and languages in multilingual higher education (HE) institutions. Covering discussions including student and teacher perceptions, teacher training, staff effectiveness, learning effectiveness, and program development, the volume tends to address how focused language instruction and assessment can be utilized as a foundation for disciplinary content learning, without specific consideration of the diverse contexts. The book review consists of four parts. A brief introduction of the book and its exceptional contribution to the ICL field is presented in the first part. The second part highlights the core ideas of each chapter while commenting on its implications. A summary and an analysis of the academic and practical value of the collection from various perspectives in the last part round out the review. This book review with its unique perspective makes an effective reference for anyone interested in the book.
