Abstract:

Internationalisation and Englishization in Higher Education have
increased in the past decade. Many stakeholders wonder whether
studying in a foreign language has consequences for study outcomes.
This dissertation looks at the relationship between the study outcomes
of German students at a Dutch university and their second language
skills in Dutch and in English. The central research question was:
What are the challenges, benefits, and drawbacks for students studying
in other than their native language? Is there an effect of second
language competence on study outcomes? The central research question
is tested in four studies.

The Dutch studies were based on longitudinal data. The effect of
language proficiency has been studied through quantitative studies and
interviews. For the English studies, examination answers were analyzed
for the possible effect of language proficiency on grades.

This dissertation demonstrates that at the level of a relatively short
text such as an answer to an examination question, the degree of
foreign language proficiency has a minor effect on grades. However,
when one ‘zooms out’ to the bigger picture of overall outcomes over a
complete year the effect of proficiency in the second or foreign
language emerges.
