摘要：Internationalization of higher education aims to develop foreign language and intercultural
and international competences (IIC). To achieve this, universities worldwide
have implemented strategies such as teaching content subjects in English,
also known as English mediated instruction (EMI). However, there is scant research
on the positive and negative aspects related to EMI implementation in Latin America.
For this reason, this case study explores the perceptions of a group of computer
science professors, students, and the program administrator in a Colombian
university about the use of this approach in learning content and language and
the development of IICs. Results revealed that implementing this initiative has
benefits but also poses some challenges. Therefore, we offer recommendations related
to the institution as a whole, the professors, and the students and suggest
including some elements of the CLIL approach to support learning. It is hoped that
these findings will contribute to the worldwide EMI/CLIL discussion, especially in
Latin American where this practice is relatively new.
