Breaking the language barrier: insights from bilingual courses at the University of Oviedo

Abstract

This research project aims to provide an in-depth analysis of bilingual education within the Faculty of Economics and Business at the University of Oviedo. As a second-year student in the bilingual Business and Management Administration (BMA) program, I seek to examine the key characteristics and current practices of the program. Preliminary results from surveys indicate a high level of dissatisfaction among both students and professors. However, there seems to be a reluctance from both groups to openly address these concerns. What is the underlying reason for this "elephant in the room" that no one is willing to discuss?
