Linguistic outcomes of english medium instruction programmes in higher education: A study on economics undergraduates at a catalan university

Globalisation and international mobility in the 21st century has led to the internationalisation of the English language (Crystal, 2003). Research regarding linguistic gains at university levels is however extremely scarce. This study aims to address this gap of knowledge and provide some answers as...
