The 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 higher education institutions (HEIs) outside the Anglophone world. Besides teaching English language classes, English is increasingly used as medium of education, 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/multilingualism . In how far is this multilingualism made visible and constructed online? How do institutions react to or support the presence of English and other languages in their policy statements and other online texts? What does English-medium education look like across HEIs and different academic disciplines? What kind of English is taught and/or used? It is questions like these that we will deal with in the Advanced Course, which focuses on the dynamic complexity of English Medium Education in Multilingual University Settings (EMEMUS).
Based on the ROAD-MAPPING framework developed for researching and working with EMEMUS, we will approach the topic in three phases, approaching it from a different angles each time, i.e. internationalisation and language policy in higher education, the roles of English and other languages in education, and classroom practices across different academic disciplines. Each of these phases will combine a literature-focused part based on selected readings and an empirical part, in which all participants will collect relevant information from selected HEIs. More precisely, each participant will select one or two HEIs as their research site(s) that they will use for collecting EMEMUS-related data for each of the three phases. By applying research methods introduced in the course, each student will then analyse their own data, share their findings orally in class and write it up in the form of a short research report. Each student’s reports and data make up their moodle-based ROAD-MAPPING portfolio
