摘要
欧洲高校EMI源于全球化、欧洲博洛尼亚进程的大背景,得到欧洲各国及高校的积极推动,整体发展迅猛,但欧洲南北的EMI发展水平差异显著,EMI学位层次及专业分布也不均衡。当前欧洲各国日益关注高校EMI这一现象带来的多重挑战,并积极采取应对举措:在宏观政策层面平衡本国语和英语之间的关系,加强大学层面的语言规划,完善师生英语语言能力的质量保障等。EMI将继续作为高等教育国际化的可行路径之一,我们不能仅以增加EMI项目数量为务,而是应该对高等教育政策中的“语言”角色进行问题化分析,进而进行全面规划和结构性支持。对高校EMI现象的研究应该结合语言政策与规划的整体与分层视角。可对中国、欧洲高校EMI的政策与实践及其与全球化、高等教育国际化和语言教育规划之间的关系等进行多案例比较研究,在此基础上建立中国相关研究在世界高校EMI研究的知识体系中的累进性位置。
Since the beginning of the 21st century,English as medium of instruction(EMI)programs have been burgeoning in the European higher education.At the same time,the use of EMI in the European higher education has drawn much academic attention.The present paper is concerned with the policy,realities and constraints experienced in the implementation of EMI programs in European universities.After a survey of the driving forces of European EMI development at the global,European,national,and institutional level,main features of European EMI development are discussed:an unequivocal rise in the EMI provision,great north-south divide,and uneven proportions between undergraduate and master’s level in terms of degrees and disciplines.This study further addresses some of political,administrative,and educational challenges to be considered as a consequence of this rapid EMI development in Europe.These challenges include how to strike a balance between national language(s)and English in policy design,how to enforce language planning in higher education institutes,and how to ensure the quality of English language capability of teachers and students.This study thus aims to develop our understanding of the relationship between EMI and higher education internationalization on the one hand and the multi-layered analysis involved in EMI studies from the perspective of language policy and planning on the other.
