Abstract

Diseñar titulaciones en torno a perfiles profesionales y orientar la enseñanza hacia la adquisición de competencias son 2 de los grandes retos planteados por el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES). En este trabajo se analiza la importancia concedida por el profesorado al conocimiento de una segunda lengua en el contexto europeo en materias relativas a Organización de Empresas propias de los estudios en Administración y Dirección de Empresas (ADE) e Ingeniería. Tal estudio se realiza a través de las respuestas dadas por docentes de 20 países europeos en una encuesta on-line. Los resultados permiten concluir que el dominio de una segunda lengua es una competencia específica que los docentes consideran crítica para la formación de los universitarios de estudios en ADE e Ingeniería, aunque España se encuentra por detrás de los países de su entorno en cuanto a la percepción sobre la importancia de una segunda lengua como competencia curricular y profesional. / The design of qualifications around professional profiles and steering teaching towards the acquisition of competences are 2 major challenges targeted by the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). This study analyses the importance given by teachers to knowledge of a second language in Business Organisation matters in Business Management and Administration (BMA) and Engineering studies in the European context. As its basis, the study takes answers from teaching staff in 20 European countries given in an online survey. The results lead to the conclusion that mastery of a second language is a specific competence considered by teachers to be crucial for the training of university BMA and Engineering students, although Spain is behind other countries in the region with regard to how the importance of a second language is perceived as a curricular and professional competence.
