ABSTRACT The aim of this research is to analyse the students’ perceptions about their extramural use of English, comparing undergraduates studying their degree in English (EMI) with those studying theirs in their native language (non-EMI) within a span of five academic years. Data collected from a Spanish University suggest that the students´s interest and perception of their possibilities of working abroad in English differ. Results also reveal key differences in the use of extramural English and suggest that exposure to reading books or watching English-language films will eventually contribute to the formation of global mindset in students. The trend of the importance of English during a five year span is also considered, for both strands of students. This study makes a contribution in the field of teaching in international business settings for high education institutions.

“您在日常生活中使用英语吗？” 大学生对英语外语使用的看法

摘要本研究的目的是分析学生对英语在校外使用的看法，并比较五个学年内以英语（EMI）为学位的学生与以母语（non-EMI）为母语的学生的学习情况。 。从西班牙大学收集的数据表明，学生对使用英语出国工作的兴趣和看法有所不同。结果还揭示了使用壁外英语的主要差异，并表明接触阅读书籍或观看英语电影最终将有助于培养学生的全球思维方式。对于这两类学生，还考虑了英语在五年跨度中的重要性趋势。
