Abstract
This paper deals with issues related to the teaching of English as a foreign language in higher education by focusing on the teaching of English in the Department of Mediterranean Studies at the University of the Aegean. More specifically, this paper outlines how the English language is taught in the department and examines the results of a study which compared student time investment with teaching/learning effectiveness. Finally, based on these findings, it proposes suggestions for English language learning in higher education. These suggestions include the following: (a) English should not be viewed as a foreign language, (b) academic aspects of language proficiency should be stressed, (c) language learning in higher education should be based on transformative and constructive/progressive pedagogical orientations, and (d) ICT should be utilized to the maximum.
