摘要

In recent years, coinciding with adjustments to the Bologna process, many European universities haveattempted to improve their international profile by increasing course offerings in English. According tothe Institute of International Education (IIE), Spain has notably increased its English-taught highereducation programs, ranking fifth in the list of European countries by number of English-taughtMaster's programs in 2013. This article presents the goals and preliminary results of an on-goinginnovative education project (TechEnglish) that aims to promote course offerings in English at theTechnical University of Madrid (Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, UPM). The UPM is the oldest andlargest of all Technical Universities in Spain. It offers graduate and postgraduate programs that coverall the engineering disciplines as well as architecture. Currently, the UPM has no specificbilingual/multilingual program to promote teaching in English, although there is an Educational ModelWhitepaper (with a focus on undergraduate degrees) that promotes the development of activities likean International Semester or a unique shared curriculum. The TechEnglish project is an attempt tofoster courses taught in English at 7 UPM Technical Schools, including students and 80 facultymembers. Four tasks were identified: (1) to design a university wide framework to increase courseofferings, (2) to identify administrative difficulties, (3) to increase visibility of courses offered, and (4) todisseminate the results of the project. First, to design a program we analyzed existing programs atother Spanish universities, and other projects and efforts already under way at the UPM. A total of 13plans were analyzed and classified according to their relation with students (learning), professors(teaching), administration, course offerings, other actors/institutions within the university (e.g.,language departments), funds and projects, dissemination activities, mobility plans and quality control.Second, to begin to identify administrative and organizational difficulties in the implementation ofteaching in English, we first estimated the current and potential course offerings at the undergraduatelevel at the UPM using a survey (student, teacher and administrative demand, level of English andwillingness to work in English). Third, to make the course offerings more attractive for both Spanishand international students we examined the way the most prestigious universities in Spain and inEurope try to improve the visibility of their academic offerings in English. Finally, to disseminate theresults of the project we created a web page and a workspace on the Moodle education platform andprepared conferences and workshops within the UPM. Preliminary results show that increasing courseofferings in English is an important step to promote the internationalization of the University. The maindifficulties identified at the UPM were related to how to acknowledge/certify the departments, teachersor students involved in English courses, how students should register for the courses, howdepartments should split and schedule the courses (Spanish and English), and the lack of qualifiedpersonnel. A concerted effort could be made to increase the visibility of English-taught programsoffered on-line.
