abstract |
English-taught Programmes (ETPs) have increased exponentially in European universities
over the last 10 years, leading to growing numbers of bilingual graduates. This study
reports on the most recent survey of ETPs in Italian higher education. A questionnaire
completed in 2010 by 50% of Italian universities addressed both organisational factors
(including the number of ETPs, reasons for adoption and difficulties in implementation)
and pedagogical factors (including recruitment and teachers’ competencies). The findings
paint a heterogeneous picture, with ETPs expanding but still not universal. Issues
are analysed according to university type (public/private) and location, since the
divisions between the wealthy, industrialised North, the Centre and the less developed
South are largely reflected in the profile and status of universities in each geographical
zone. All institutions show a clear-cut focus on content over language. |
