Abstract

Recently in the wake of the Bologna Declaration and similar international initiatives there has been a rapid increase in the number of university courses and programmes taught through the medium of English Surveys have consistently shown the Nordic countries to be at the forefront of this trend towards Englishmedium instruction EMI In this paper we discuss the introduction of EMI in four Nordic countries Denmark Finland Norway and Sweden We present the educational setting and the EMI debate in each of these countries and summarize relevant research findings We then make some tentative suggestions for the introduction of EMI in higher education in other countries In particular we are interested in university language policies and their relevance for the daytoday work of faculty We problematize onesizefitsall university language policies suggesting that in order for policies to be seen as relevant they need to be flexible enough to take into account disciplinary differences In this respect we make some specific suggestions about the content of university language policies and EMI course syllabuses Here we recommend that university language policies should encourage the discussion of disciplinary literacy goals and require course syllabuses to detail disciplinaryspecific languagelearning outcomes
