Abstract
El programa de movilidad Erasmus, enmarcado en el contexto de la educación
superior europea, no solo fomenta el aprendizaje de la lengua extranjera, sino que además
promueve el conocimento físico de los estados miembros, el entendimiento y la cohesión entre
miembros pertenecientes a diferentes culturas, lo que da conciencia de ciudadanía europea entre
la población estudiantil. El objetivo de nuestro trabajo de investigación se centra en identificar
en qué medida la estancia en el extranjero promueve la adquisición de competencia intercultural.
El modelo de investigación adoptado es multimetódico y está basado en la aplicación
de una
metodología cuantitativa y cualitativa. Los instrumentos aplicados son el cuestionario-encuesta
y el foro de discusión. El universo y la muestra de nuestro estudio es el circunscrito a los estudiantes
Erasmus alemanes y españoles que durante el curso académico 2009/10 realizaron una
estancia en universidades
alemanas y españolas. El análisis de los resultados y las conclusiones
aportan una información
valiosa y de carácter descriptivo sobre la adquisición de competencias
interculturales dentro del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior.
The Erasmus student Mobility Programme plays an important role in the process of integration and consolidation of the European Union. It also promotes foreign language learning, learning about other Member States, and understanding of and unity among people from different cultures, which in turn increases awareness of European citizenship among students. Our main goal is to analyze in detail the acquisition of intercultural competencies of German and Spanish Erasmus students before and during their stay in a foreign country. We applied a multimethod model (or mixed method) based on both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The two instruments for data collection were a questionnaire and a focus group. The sample group participating in our research were German and Spanish Erasmus students, who studied abroad during the academic year 2009/10 at German and Spanish universities. The analysis of results and the conclusions of our research provide important descriptive information about the state of affairs of foreign language learning and the use of the internet within the EHEA.
