Presentación

This BIP course invites academics from NEOLAiA universities across all disciplines who teach through English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) to participate in an international and interdisciplinary professional development experience. Participants will explore a range of topics and tools relevant to teaching and learning in higher education, while sharing experiences and best practices in a collaborative academic environment. The programme aims to empower academics to design inclusive, student-centred, and effective teaching practices in bi- and plurilingual higher education contexts. Participants will explore theoretical foundations, communication skills, digital tools, inclusive strategies, and assessment aligned with the principles of plurilingual education.

By the end of this Blended Intensive Programme (BIP), participants will be able to: 1. Explain the foundations of bilingual, multilingual, and plurilingual education, identifying their key principles, educational implications, and relevance in contemporary European contexts. 2. Define and critically differentiate the theoretical frameworks of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI), and Integrating Content and Language in Higher Education (ICLHE), assessing their pedagogical applications and distinctive features. 3. Analyze European and national language policy frameworks and evaluate their relationship with multilingual education, EMI practices, and institutional internationalisation strategies. 4. Critically examine empirical research on bilingual education in order to identify and challenge widespread myths and misconceptions. 5. Demonstrate awareness of the importance of “real English” for effective communication in bilingual and CLIL classrooms, particularly in fostering Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (BICS). 6. Identify, update, and apply authentic, contemporary English-language chunks (“real English”) to enhance communicative interaction in bilingual educational settings. 7. Develop practical strategies to integrate updated lexical and communicative resources into classroom practice through identification, guided practice, and production activities. 8. Improve pronunciation and spoken fluency to increase clarity, confidence, and communicative effectiveness in bilingual and EMI teaching contexts. 9. Adopt the role of reflective and autonomous language users (“English watchers”), engaging in continuous professional development to be linguistically up-to-date and pedagogically effective.

Module 1. Theoretical Underpinnings Of Bi- And Plurilingual Education This module explores the foundations of bilingual, multilingual, and plurilingual education, including their definitions, importance, and relationship with social, political, and economic factors. It examines CLIL, EMI, and ICLHE, outlining their core features, similarities, differences, and approaches to integrating content and language learning in higher education. It also reviews European and national policy frameworks, legal foundations, initiatives, and alliances promoting language policy, plurilingual education, and internationalisation. Finally, it draws on empirical evidence to challenge common myths about bilingual education and highlight research-based perspectives on its linguistic, cognitive, and academic effects. Module 2. Academic And Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (bics) And Pronunciation This section focuses on improving Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (BICS) through exposure to authentic, up-to-date English. It explores what “real English” is, why and who should learn it, and how to develop these skills through interaction with native speakers, audiovisual media, social networks, literature, and explicit learning activities. It also addresses pronunciation in English-Medium Instruction (EMI), highlighting its impact on communication and the importance of establishing expectations with students. Key areas include breathing and voice control, long and weak forms, intonation, word and sentence stress, and connected speech, supported by practical activities and further reading.

This Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) offers academics a valuable opportunity to enhance their pedagogical, linguistic, and intercultural competencies in multilingual higher education. It is particularly relevant for university lecturers who use English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) or wish to develop their teaching practices in increasingly international and plurilingual academic environments. Participants will deepen their understanding of bilingual, multilingual, and plurilingual education, exploring the theoretical foundations and practical applications of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), EMI, and Integrating Content and Language in Higher Education (ICLHE). They will also critically examine European and national language policies, internationalisation strategies, and research evidence to challenge common misconceptions about bilingual education and inform their teaching decisions. A distinctive feature of the programme is its practical focus on effective communication in English-medium instruction. Through activities addressing authentic, contemporary English expressions (“real English”), pronunciation, voice, and spoken fluency, academics will develop strategies to communicate more clearly and confidently, facilitate classroom interaction, and support students’ communicative development. The programme also encourages participants to become reflective and autonomous language users who continuously update their linguistic and pedagogical knowledge. The blended format combines online collaborative learning with an intensive international mobility experience at the University of Jaén. This provides opportunities to exchange teaching experiences, share good practices with colleagues from different European universities, strengthen intercultural competence, and establish professional networks that may foster future academic cooperation. The programme culminates in a practical micro-teaching task and oral presentation, enabling participants to transfer the knowledge and strategies acquired to their own disciplinary and institutional contexts. Overall, this BIP supports academic professional development by bridging research and practice, enhancing teaching effectiveness in English-medium environments, and contributing to the quality and internationalisation of higher education. Successful participation awards 3 ECTS credits.
