Italian university switches to English
By Sean Coughlan, BBC News education correspondent 16 May 2012 Last updated at 09:49 GMT
Milan is crowded with Italian icons, which makes it even more of a cultural earthquake that one Of Italy’s leading universities – the Politecnico di Milano – Is going to switch to the English language. The university has announced that from 2014 most of its degree Courses – including all its graduate courses – will be taught and assessed entirely in English rather than Italian.
The waters of globalisation are rising around higher education – and the university believes that if it remains Italian-speaking it risks isolation and will be unable to compete as an international institution. “We strongly believe our classes should be international classes – and the only way to have international classes is to use the English language”, says the university’s rector, Giovanni Azzone.

As línguas têm um papel importante na comunicação entre pessoas de diferentes culturas. Diante do movimento de internacionalização no ensino superior, a universidade Politecnico di Milano decidiu

Answer

Pese benefícios sociais/econômicos e impactos físicos/bióticos. Uma decisão responsável exige comprovar necessidade, realizar estudos de impacto (EIA/RIMA), prever mitigação/compensação e monitoramento; essa racionalidade está expressa em “substituir a língua nacional para se inserir no contexto da globalização.”. Erros comuns: supor reversão fácil de impactos, ignorar licenciamento/mitigação, reduzir decisões a fator único (apenas econômico ou apenas ambiental).
