Students were invited to take part in a survey with open ended questions, and nursing teachers were invited to take part in semi-structured interviews. Participants were recruited from three nursing programmes in two Dutch speaking institutes of higher education in Brussels. One of the three programmes has an international and multilingual focus with courses taught in Dutch, French and English. Results show that students preferred separate targeted language skills courses to integrated content and language courses. The teachers were mostly positive towards the idea of integrated multilingual nursing education. Teachers expected more time allocation and linguistic support from experts for integrating foreign languages into the curriculum, as well as setting clear objectives for students. The study concludes that successful multilingual integration in nursing education depends on implementation policies that take into account proper support for the teachers and clear learning objectives for the students.

Since the signing of the Bologna declaration, many institutions in Europe have adopted English as the "scientific lingua franca", and have instated courses and entire degree programmes taught in English. Several countries in the European Union also offer nursing degree programmes in English. With the rise of multilingualism in Europe, new challenges have become apparent in multilingual education. The Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach has emerged as a new, innovative way to learn languages. The approach has become mainstream in primary and secondary education with proven success, and has also spread to higher education. Nurses are required to develop their linguistic skills such that they can communicate well with their patients and colleagues. Due to globalization, nurses are faced with increasingly diverse patients, presenting new challenges in nursing education concerning linguistic and transcultural preparation of students. Although CLIL is becoming more widely accepted in many academic faculties, it has not yet been studied sufficiently in the nursing education context.

En s'inspirant surtout des travaux d'Edelman & Tononi (2001) et de leur theorie neo-darwinienne de la selection de groupes neuronaux, les auteurs considerent le cerveau comme un systeme dynamique, auto-organise et «ouvert» qui, en meme temps, est selectif et adaptif. Deux groupes de sujets plurilingues sont distingues dans cette etude: les «precoces» et les «precoces retardes» Ils sont issus de familles plurilingues et de l'enseignement base sur l'approche EMILE (Enseignement d'une Matiere par Integration d'une Langue Etrangere). La recherche experimentale consiste a comparer ces deux groupes par le biais d'une methode d'imagerie neuronale (resonance magnetique fonctionnelle) et des tests verbaux et arithmetiques.
