DESCRIPTION:At a time of growing internationalisation in higher education 
 English medium programmes (EMPs) are becoming a common practice across uni
 versities worldwide.  These new developments result in higher education po
 licy decisions leading to new forms of multilingualism\, which are general
 ly not only widely taken\, but also evaluated as necessary improvements fo
 r the respective institutions and stakeholders involved.  In the case of t
 he European context\, the consolidation of the European Higher Education A
 rea (EHEA) has facilitated the spread of English-medium instruction as a m
 eans to attract international talent and\, at the same time\, boost intern
 ationalisation at home strategies for national students. \n\nThis session 
 will examine the macro- and micro- levels of language policies in EMPs in 
 a Spanish university\, drawing on a recently developed conceptual framewor
 k for English-medium-instruction known by the acronym of ROAD-MAPPING (Daf
 ouz and Smit\, 2016). With the help of illustrative discursive examples\, 
 the session will highlight the challenges of English-medium education and 
 the tensions that may appear when official language policies meet unoffici
 al classroom discourse practices. Implications for the design and implemen
 tation of EMPs will be discussed too.  \n\n*Emma Dafouz* is Associate Prof
 essor of English Linguistics at Complutense University of Madrid (UCM)\, w
 here she researches in Second Language Education\, Discourse Analysis and 
 CLIL/English-medium instruction. She has published extensively in internat
 ional journals (Applied Linguistics\, Language and Education\, Modern Lang
 uage Journal\, ESP Journal\, International Journal of Bilingualism and Bil
 ingual Education\, AILA Review) and publishers (Benjamins\, Routledge\, De
  Gruyter\, etc). At present Dr Dafouz is Policy Advisor for Curricular Int
 ernationalisation at UCM. \n
