EIL degree programs: themes central to scholarly discussions of EIL and EIL language education

EIL degree programs: themes central to scholarly discussions of EIL and EIL language education

Abstract

Scholarly discussion of English as an international language (EIL) since1970s has indicated various socio cultural, linguistic, communicative and pedagogical concerns. To identify how these scholarly concerns can be realized in English language education at the tertiary level and if they could constitute themes which could inform discussions of EIL and EIL language education, an investigation into several degree programs in English as an international language was conducted. In this research,curriculum documents of two Masters in EIL degree programs which were published online by two tertiary institutions in Australia were analyzed.The analysis was conducted on the programs’ structures, the contents(synopses and objectives) of the courses offered in these programs and on the keywords used in the program descriptions. The content analysis indicated various constructs of English as an international language which constitute three themes central to scholarly discussions of EIL and which could better inform curricular and pedagogical practices in English language education at the tertiary level.
