English as an international language, or EIL, is employed to acknowledge current World Englishes around the globe and the functions that the English language plays in international and intercultural communication. Recently, some tertiary education institutions around the world have offered undergraduate and postgraduate programs in English as an international language. Given the offering of these EIL programs, research evidence regarding how these EIL programs reflect or address key characteristics of English as an international language. This paper presents a comparative view on two undergraduate programs in EIL in Australia. Through a study on the titles and content of the courses offered in these programs and a keyword concordance, the analysis suggests that not every program claiming to be EIL is specifically designed to address the characteristics of English as an international language. The analysis also indicates that there are contrasting representations of EIL in these two programs in terms of program design and program content. Refereed/Peer-reviewed
