Zusammenfassung
This section focuses on the controversial issue of assuming that English taught programmes are always an instrument for the internationalisation of Education institutions. The author defends multilingualism as a necessary factor in a globalised system, and encourages Spanish universities to take advantage of the huge asset of having as principal language of instruction a language spoken by 567 million people around the world.
