Keywords:
estudiantes internacionales, efectos, ESP, qualitative studyAbstract
This two-year case study explores the presence of international students (mostly Erasmus) in Inglés II for Tourism at Universidad Politécnica de Valencia. This tentative qualitative study analysed their presence from four different perspectives: professional, linguistic, social and motivational. Results suggest that inter- national students benefit the ESP class significantly.
