Abstract	The ability to access a foreign language can be an issue for academics trying to publish in international journals. The barriers that non-(limited)English-speaking academics in poor countries have in accessing the academic literature pose an issue of disadvantage in a world where the current trend is to publish research work mostly in English. This case study examines these issues of disadvantage through a discussion of the problems faced by researchers and full-time teachers from humanistic and non-humanistic faculties, schools, centres and institutes at the National Autonomous University of Mexico who were asked what languages they used in their academic activities and in what domains, and what their language problems were and how they had solved them thus far. (Contains 1 figure, 4 tables and 9 notes.) (As Provided).
