Laburpena

Nos encontramos en un momento histórico en el que el multilingüismo se estáconvirtiendo en una característica intrínseca de las universidades a lo largo yancho del planeta, por lo que este artículo aborda las importantes repercusionesque la coexistencia de diferentes lenguas conlleva para la enseñanza de lenguaspara fines específicos (LFE). Tras analizar la interacción entre LFE ymultilingüismo, el artículo se centra en el caso de la Universidad del PaísVasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (UPV/EHU) a modo de ejemplo de cómolas universidades multilingües tratan de hacer frente a los diversos retos que estemultilingüismo plantea. El artículo defiende la necesidad de fomentar lacolaboración no solo entre especialistas de contenido y lengua, sino tambiénentre el profesorado de LFE de diferentes lenguas.
