• gain familiarity with and experience in applying select CMDA (computer-mediated discourse analysis) research skills
• gain detailed insights into the roles, functions and online use of English (as a lingua franca) in a specific tertiary educational settingContent and MethodsThe so-called “Bologna Process” of internationalising tertiary education has not only resulted in the three-level architecture of study programmes (bachelor/master/doctorate), but has also changed and strengthened the relevance of English at mainland European universities. Besides teaching English language classes, English is increasingly used as medium of instruction, language of administration, and of doing and disseminating research, i.e. as language for academic purposes. From a sociolinguistic point of view this means that our universities are no longer the largely monolingual institutions they used to be, but have entered an era of de facto bi- or multilingualism. In how far is this multilingualism made visible and constructed online? How do institutions react to or support the presence of English in their language policy statements and other online texts? What kind of English is taught and/or used? What language practices do stakeholder groups engage in online and how do these practices compare with their university’s language policies?
It is questions like these that we will deal with in the seminar course, which focuses on the multifunctional and potentially contested position of English in present-day tertiary institutions. Based on up-to-date research into language policy in higher education, EMEMUS (English medium education in multilingual university settings) and ELFA (English as a lingua franca in academia), participants will become familiar with the complexity of this applied linguistic concern. By undertaking small-scale qualitative studies, they will gain informed insights into the language policies and select online practices at tertiary institutions of their choice.
