Other comments• Poor English skills may prevent some students
from receiving a better grade. It is obvious that some students do not understand course texts or exam questions, which puts them at a disadvantage. Particularly many students with an immigration background (e.g. Eastern Europe) who have not gone through the German education system often lack the required language skills. Students with poor English skills have to work harder in the courses as it takes them much longer to read case studies, handouts etc. Finally, if content courses are part of the curriculum, students should be required to take a college entrance exam that tests their language proficiency (required level B2, if not C1).

Other comments
• If at all possible, course held in English should be undertaken by English native speakers.
• English courses should be exclusively taught by native speakers or teachers spent several years abroad.

Other comments• Depending on the subject more courses should be
taught in English. This certainly is problematic for subjects with dominating national perspective like taxation or auditing but it certainly is possible for Marketing, Management, Controlling and the like. I think it is important to lower the entry barriers for colleagues who want to start to teach in English e.g. by offering the possibility of co-teaching, splitting up a course or other possibilities to reduce initial workload. I also think it is a good idea to offer an incentive to teach in English to value the extra work it means and/or to build recognition.

Discussion Time
• Does your university teach content courses in English? What kind of courses? BA? MA/MSc? Other?
• to only ‘German’ students? Or ‘mixed groups’ German and Erasmus students?
• Is a proven and tested proof of English level required for participants?
• If so, which test? / which level?

Discussion Time•Do you think Content-based courses taught in English should be only taught by native speakers or C2 level teachers?
•What kind of materials should be used?
•How could CLIL courses be improved where you work?
•What support do you think non-native CLIL teachers need?

To sum up
• CLIL in HE means English • Has received little research attention
(see survey!)• Assumes non-native speakers of
English require little or no extra training or resources
• Success often due to enthusiastic efforts of both teachers and students
