<p class="MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US" style="">Teaching subjects through the medium of English is widely considered to be an essential tool in the internationalization policies of universities.
English Mediated Instruction (EMI) can make study programmes more accessible to international students, improve the foreign language skills of local students and also enhance the international prestige of a university and its staff. However, the introduction
of EMI raises a series of questions and challenges, including the professional development of teaching staff and the accreditation of lecturers to teach their subjects through English. </span><span lang="EN-US"><br>
<br>
<span style="">With this in mind, the University of León, the Compostela Group of Universities, the Santander Group of Universities and the Languages for Intercultural Communication and Mobility (LICOM) Expert Community of the European Association for International
Education (EAIE) kindly ask you to forward this survey: </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style=""><a href="http://goo.gl/FuFgDF" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/FuFgDF</a> to someone responsible for these issues in your University. Only one response per institution
is necessary. For the moment, we only require respondents from European countries with the exception of the UK and Ireland.<br>
<br>
The survey is available in English and Spanish and should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.</span><span lang="EN-US"> It<span style=""> has two aims:<u></u><u></u></span></span></font></p>
