| Summary: | It is important to define the purpose of not teaching a university course in the local L1. We must distinguish between teaching content in a second language because L1 is impractical for some reason, and teaching content and a second language simultaneously with L2 improvement as a course aim. The former demands lingua-franca practices aimed at maximally efficient communication (rather than maximally correct or elaborate language). The latter demands practices more allied to language teaching aimed at developing the particular skills that have been identified as expected learning outcomes. Appropriate practices are suggested. |
