N2 - English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) has rapidly become a widespread phenomenon
in Europe, especially in many Italian institutions. The growth of EMI
is currently exponential as well as non-regimented; it is therefore very important
to obtain updated, local data regarding this phenomenon, which could be of use
in developing future national policies. This study describes the data gathered in
a 2015 survey of English-Medium Instruction (EMI) which included all Italian
universities. The survey concentrated on three areas, the lecturers and students
involved and the overall organisation of the courses in both private and public institutions
in the North, Centre and South of Italy. The paper updates information
on the same topic gathered from a previous questionnaire (Costa & Coleman,
2012), reflecting on what has changed during the intervening three years
