This study follows the progress of three students from Universitat de Lleida after their Erasmus experience at three different European universities, two in Milano and one in Macerata. The students took a monological English oral test before and after their stay abroad, and fluency and accuracy measures have been calculated from it. The students were also interviewed and participated in focus-group discussions. The measures from the two students who went to Milano show an improvement in their English level, whereas the student who went to Macerata performs even worse on his return.

In der vorliegenden Studie werden die Fortschritte von drei Studenten der Universitat de Lleida nach ihrem Erasmus-Aufenthalt an drei verschiedenen europäischen Universitäten – zwei in Mailand und einer in Macerata – analysiert. Vor und nach ihrem Auslandsaufenthalt nahmen die Studierenden an einer monologischen mündlichen Englischprüfung teil, bei der ihre Sprachkompetenzen und Ausdrucksfähigkeit beurteilt wurden. Darüber hinaus wurden sie interviewt und beteiligten sich an Fokusgruppendiskussionen. Die Ergebnisse der beiden Studenten, die nach Mailand gegangen sind, zeigten eine Verbesserung ihrer Englischkenntnisse, während der Student, der nach Macerata gegangen ist, nach seiner Rückkehr noch schlechter abschnitt. Allerdings unterschieden sich die Erfahrungen der beiden Studenten aus Mailand erheblich von denen des Studenten aus Macerata. Anhand von ethnographischen Informationen und verfügbaren qualitativen Daten wird ein Versuch unternommen, die voneinander abweichenden Ergebnisse nachzuvollziehen.University of Silesia Press2022202220222022info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.31261/TAPSLA.10482http://hdl.handle.net/10459.1/72922http://hdl.handle.net/10459.1/72922reponame:Recercat.

description The growing number of English-Medium Instruction courses offered across Europe is increasing the opportunities for student exchanges. This study follows the progress of three students from Universitat de Lleida after their Erasmus experience at three different European universities, two in Milano and one in Macerata. The students took a monological English oral test before and after their stay abroad, and fluency and accuracy measures have been calculated from it. The students were also interviewed and participated in focus-group discussions. The measures from the two students who went to Milano show an improvement in their English level, whereas the student who went to Macerata performs even worse on his return. However, the experience from the two students in Milano was substantially different from the one who went to Macerata. Using the ethnographic information and the qualitative data available, we bring forward arguments that can help to account for these different outcomes.
