| Abstract: | In today’s higher education institutions one can quite often identify educational settings characterized by a multicultural component. Therefore, special attention should be given to the multitude of issues to be taken into account by the foreign language teacher who takes on the hat of a course designer in such challenging sensitive contexts. Among the foci of both the course creation of and its implementation in a multicultural class, identity connected aspects are worth receiving special attention at all stages, as, if they are disregarded, there are serious risks of potential misinterpretation of the input, conducive to a decrease in the course efficiency. The paper aims to discuss the manner in which identity has been taken into consideration in designing and teaching a CLIL type course named ENGLISH FOR ENGINEERING ACADEMIC STUDY (EEAS) to foreign and Romanian students of the Faculty of Engineering in Foreign Languages - FILS of the Bucharest Polytechnic having English as the medium of instruction. |
