Abstract While many studies investigate the validity of TOEFL and IELTS scores, as well as stakeholders’ opinions about their usefulness for international student admission at Anglophone universities, little is known about their utility and relevance for admission in English medium instruction (EMI) programs at non-Anglophone universities. The purpose of this study is to explore various political, economic, socio-cultural, and academic dimensions within a specific EMI context in order to build an argument regarding the usefulness of standardized English test score requirements by detailing the consequences that would result from the use of standardized test scores and the decisions based on their use within the EMI context. Data from a lecturer survey, interviews, and documents were used for the analysis. Based on the findings, the use of commercial English test scores will streamline the screening of all students based on English language proficiency and establish equality among different student groups. However, although these scores may provide a solution to some language-related issues in content learning in EMI, broader educational planning (e.g., secondary school education, teacher training, integrating content and language) may be necessary in order to achieve long-term positive effects and avoid political and ethical issues.

高等教育 EMI 课程注册的英语语言要求:欧洲案例

摘要 虽然许多研究调查了托福和雅思成绩的有效性,以及利益相关者对它们对英语母语大学国际学生录取有用性的看法,但人们对它们在非英语中等教育 (EMI) 课程录取中的实用性和相关性知之甚少。 - 英语大学。本研究的目的是探索特定 EMI 背景下的各种政治、经济、社会文化和学术维度,以便通过详细说明使用该标准所产生的后果,就标准化英语考试成绩要求的有用性进行论证。标准化测试分数和基于它们在 EMI 环境中使用的决定。来自讲师调查、访谈和文件的数据用于分析。根据调查结果,使用商业英语考试成绩将简化基于英语语言能力的所有学生的筛选,并在不同学生群体之间建立平等。然而,尽管这些分数可能为 EMI 内容学习中的一些语言相关问题提供解决方案,但可能需要更广泛的教育规划(例如,中学教育、教师培训、整合内容和语言)以实现长期积极的影响并避免政治和道德问题。
