The present paper reports on an empirical study conducted in 2008-09 investigating the
role of German and English in International Study Programmes. Our main interests are the language
usage and the linguistic experiences of students and lecturers / professors in such multilingual study
settings and the constellation of multilingualism in the university and in the students’ environment.
Additionally, the study investigates the types of language support offered and their implementation, as
well as the ways in which students perceive and use them. The first section outlines the design and
methodological approach of the study. This is followed by a summary of the students’ language test
results in English and German. The second section presents some of the major findings of our study,
drawing on data from the student and teacher questionnaires and interviews. The final section provides
a brief discussion of some pedagogical, linguistic and language policy implications of the present
study.
