Abstract
The present article examines the new linguistic demands that have arisen with the growing implantation in the Spanish university system of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) and bilingual undergraduate single and double degrees. Specifically, we will look at the case of the Community of Madrid which currently has 14 traditional on-site universities (six of which are public, and eight private) and analyse the requirements made of the prospective students and teaching staff on these degree programmes in terms of language certification and entrance tests that must be passed in order to be accepted on the degree programmes or hired to teach on them. We will also seek to examine the rationales behind these requirements, attempting to identify varying patterns between different types of university, the implications for the future recruitment and training of teaching staff, as well as the impact of these developments on students.
