Abstract:
Starting with the concept of academic freedom, I examine whether and to what extent use of the native language of teachers and the university home-country can be considered to pertain to this freedom. Based on a concrete example, I show how the choice of a non-native language for teaching can affect academic freedom and marginalize the native language of a country as a language of science and culture.
