Resumen

La enseñanza a través del inglés en las universidades españolas se ha extendido desde el año 2007 cuando España se adhirió al Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior. Las universidades españolas siguieron el ejemplo de sus homónimas europeas y, en la actualidad, la mayoría de instituciones ofertan enseñanzas impartidas en inglés con el fin de aumentar su presencia en el ámbito internacional, atraer alumnado y profesorado extranjero y obtener mejores resultados en los rankings de educación superior.La rápida expansión del inglés como medio de instrucción avanza a un ritmo superior que los modelos teóricos y los resultados de la investigación. Por ello, una revisión sistemática de los estudios realizados en el contexto español contribuirá a identificar los retos más acuciantes para el profesorado, el estudiantado y las instituciones en nuestro país. Con el objeto de lograr una mejor comprensión de los avances en el campo, el presente trabajo presenta una revisión sistemática de artículos que analizan los programas bilingües en universidades españolas en la última década (2013-2022). Para ello, se han examinado trabajos indexados en las tres bases de datos de mayor prestigio en la actualidad –Web of Science, ERIC y Scopus–. Se consideraron varios clústeres de términos asociados con “Inglés como medio de instrucción en España”. Consideramos que el presente trabajo puede contribuir al avance de este campo ya que no existen revisiones sistemáticas previas sobre este tema en España. La presente revisión proporciona una panorámica general sobre la investigación realizada en este ámbito en el contexto español y los resultados obtenidos, al tiempo que identifica los temas y líneas que han sido menos explorados.
