摘要：The main goal of this article is to explore the attitudes (opinions, beliefs, etc.)regarding ‘language’ of university teachers engaged in bilingual education. The context forthis research is an on-going teacher development programme at the School of Engineering(Escuela Superior de Ingeniería) at the University of Cadiz. At this stage in our research,we are looking at teacher attitudes to language from three perspectives: to better understandwhat they think about language in their ‘normal’ i.e. Spanish/monolingual teaching; how theyconceive of language per se in learning and how they feel about bilingual classrooms. Priorto their involvement in bilingual education, these teachers were likely encouraged to thinkof themselves as specialists in Áreas No Lingüísticas, but it would appear that they are inthe process of reconceptualising both the roles of language in learning and the contributionsthat teachers can make. In the bilingual classrooms, most of their students are locals withlimited language skills and the teachers favour an approach geared to developing bothcontent and languages (L1 and L2) concurrently and perceive of themselves as both modelsand facilitators in the process. We interpret this as a good example of Internationalization atHome (IaH).
