摘要:The process of internationalization at university has become one of theobjectives in the strategic plans of these institutions in Spain. During the last two decades thisobjective has included the offer of studies in English as a means of furthering the internationalprofile of universities. This interest has led to two alternative models ideated to achieve thisgoal. That is, on the one hand, the motivation to increase the number of credits taught throughEnglish may have originated in the Faculties or Schools, stemming from highly motivatedgroups of teachers; whereas, on the other, the university as a global institution may have optedfor designing an educational policy aiming at expanding this particular proposal. However,we can observe that there is a lack of identification in scientific literature of the presence ofglobal language policies at the university level, and of the general tendencies in the offer ofcredits in a foreign language. In this paper, we will try to cover this gap by reviewing thecurrent situation of Spanish universities with regards to the delineation of language policiesin general and in particular regarding the implementation of bilingual degrees.
