Activity: Talk/lecture or presentation › Talk/lecture
Description
English-medium instruction is expanding rapidly and Swedish universities have been early adopters. Reasons for EMI include facilitating internationalisation, and a belief that studying in English will help students develop their ability to use English for professional purposes. The VR-financed project Professional Literacies in English (PROFiLE) is investigating whether and to what extent this happens. The first part of this talk will look at the language resources needed to study through the medium of English, and the second part will review the early findings of the PROFiLE project.
