INTERGEDI’S PARTICIPATION IN THE SECOND MEETING OF THE THEMATIC NETWORK IMICLES

Our colleagues Pilar Mur-Dueñas and Vicky Gil attended a two day work meeting held by the thematic network IMICLES (“Internationalization and Multilingualism: Strategies for the Integration of Content and Language in Higher Education”) granted by the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, and coordinated by Dr. Noelia Ruiz Madrid, at Ciudad Real, on the 4th and 5th of June 2025, where participants from all 10 universities that constitute the thematic network shared their advances in relation to each of the objectives and areas:

➢ Policy and internationalisation plans.

➢ Compilation of data on the teaching of foreign languages and foreign language teaching, especially in English, and its characteristics in the universities of the network. 

➢ Development of the website.

➢ Teacher training plans for teachers who teach in foreign languages, mainly in English.

They discussed a first version of the tools designed by each working team in charge of it and revised it accordingly, as well as the next steps in the procedure towards obtaining data from each of the 10 participating institutions. 

The schedule for future onsite and online meetings was agreed, during which the different tools will be finalized and revised, and findings obtained through their use shared and discussed in turn.
