Peter Wingrove

Dr. Peter Wingrove is a Research Fellow at Chalmers University of Technology in the Department of Technical Language and Communication. As an applied linguist, he specializes in scientific writing education, English for Academic Purposes (EAP), and English-Medium Instruction (EMI) in higher education contexts. His research integrates quantitative and qualitative methodologies to examine how language policies and pedagogical approaches shape academic communication across Europe and globally.

Wingrove's primary research explores the sociolinguistic dimensions of EMI implementation, language policy decision-making, and equity issues in educational access. His interdisciplinary work investigates:

• The relationship between institutional autonomy and EMI adoption
• Gender disparities in English-education access
• Critical discourse analysis of language policy conflicts
• Transdisciplinary approaches to linguistic research

His publication portfolio demonstrates consistent focus on EMI's global spread, with recent works examining measurement validity, policy drivers, and social justice implications. Articles frequently employ mixed methods including corpus linguistics, process tracing, and critical discourse analysis, reflecting sustained engagement with both theoretical and applied dimensions of academic communication.

Wingrove leads the 'Multi-Genre Pedagogy' project (2025-2028) and collaborates on pan-European research initiatives. His work involves extensive interdisciplinary partnerships addressing language policy, pedagogical innovation, and equity in higher education systems.
