Dr Marijana Prodanovi\u0107, Associate Professor at Kauno kolegija, discusses the new Strategy on Multilingualism \u2013 a roadmap designed to bridge cultural gaps and enhance the international experience for students and staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-l-font-size\" style=\"text-transform:none\"><strong>Aligning with European values<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">According to Dr M. Prodanovi\u0107, multilingualism lies at the heart of EU values and is strongly supported through relevant policies and recommendations. She notes that the novel concept of European University Alliances intends to show full commitment to these EU values, with multilingualism and interculturality included.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">\u2018UNINOVIS follows suit in this regard and aims to encourage diversities of different sorts, primarily expressed via language and culture. The strategy will thus serve not only as a starting point in understanding phenomena from the field, but also a manual <em>sui generis<\/em>, that will give suggestions and guidelines <em>vis-\u00e0-vis<\/em> usage of different languages, those existing across the Alliance,\u2019 says the Associate Professor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">According to Dr M. Prodanovi\u0107, while the fact that English still keeps the solid position of <em>lingua franca<\/em> of today&#8217;s world cannot be overlooked, &#8216;Englishisation&#8217; is not what underpins the strategy rationale.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">On the contrary, she asserts that the main goal is to shed additional light on the linguistic and cultural wealth existing out there, while increasing awareness of the fact that knowledge of different languages and cultural traits does open new windows of the mind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">\u2018Naturally, English <em>per se<\/em> is not going to be marginalised, as it enables a smooth communication flow; however, room for other languages will be enabled by acknowledging them and suggesting potential ways of their more active integration into everyday and academic practices,\u2019 shares Dr M. Prodanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-l-font-size\" style=\"text-transform:none\"><strong>Navigating English as a Medium of Instruction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">The Associate Professor notes that the notion of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) has gained significant popularity over the previous decade and increased in numbers across the countries that do not belong to the \u2018Big Four\u2019.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a042228dce02&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a042228dce02\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/kaunokolegija.lt\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/05\/Dr-Marijana-Prodanovic-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A woman stands in a library by bookshelves, smiling and holding a book in her hands.\" class=\"wp-image-280398\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:contain\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kaunokolegija.lt\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/05\/Dr-Marijana-Prodanovic-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/kaunokolegija.lt\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/05\/Dr-Marijana-Prodanovic-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kaunokolegija.lt\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/05\/Dr-Marijana-Prodanovic-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kaunokolegija.lt\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/05\/Dr-Marijana-Prodanovic-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kaunokolegija.lt\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/05\/Dr-Marijana-Prodanovic-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kaunokolegija.lt\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/05\/Dr-Marijana-Prodanovic-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/kaunokolegija.lt\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/05\/Dr-Marijana-Prodanovic-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Dr Marijana Prodanovi\u0107<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">\u2018Given the fact that the Alliance countries belong to the expanding circle of English, where the language is used as a foreign one rather than a second one, EMI often comes as a two-sided coin. On the one hand, it can increase the visibility of an institution and position it better internationally, which encourages more international students and faculty to join,\u2019 says Dr M. Prodanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">On the other hand, she notes that EMI could be quite challenging through the tripartite prism of language, culture, and academic content. Delivering and acquiring it all can be a tall order imposed on all the participants of the process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">However, Dr M. Prodanovi\u0107 maintains that when supported by carefully-selected English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and English for Academic Purposes (EAP) activities, along with adequate teacher training, the implementation of EMI can be rather fruitful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-l-font-size\" style=\"text-transform:none\"><strong>Interculturality: a deep-level competence<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">Dr M. Prodanovi\u0107 observes that interculturality can be viewed from different angles, at both a surface and deep level. It is often relegated to the category of \u2018soft skills\u2019, where it is perceived as mere survival when different cultures meet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">\u2018Anyhow, once we dig deeper, we see it is way more than that. Intercultural awareness and sensitivity go beyond avoiding faux pas; it involves putting yourself into somebody else&#8217;s shoes, showing empathy, integrating and even assimilating, enriching yourself with not only new communication skills but real-life experiences,\u2019 says Associate Professor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">On a more practical level, Dr M. Prodanovi\u0107 shares that even a restricted or partial knowledge of other cultural norms and languages could enhance internationalisation practices, including exchanges, internationalisation at home, and the execution of Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) and Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">\u2018And of course, it is equally beneficial for students and staff \u2013 sometimes, even greeting someone in his mother tongue could be a token of appreciation, a much appreciated one,\u2019 Dr M. Prodanovi\u0107 shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">When asked what would constitute the ultimate success story for this strategy, she envisions a future that goes beyond the documentation itself. Apart from having the strategy available in the different languages of the Alliance and having it accompanied by a manual or toolkit exhibiting basic tips and tricks of intercultural communication, she hopes to see the development of multilingualism through ideas and sample glossaries with simple, communication-based vocabulary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">\u2018Ultimately, a success story would involve opening&nbsp; new horizons, attracting people to embark on a new language learning adventure, making them more open to diversities and the world,\u2019 concludes Dr M. Prodanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a member of the UNINOVIS European University Alliance, Kauno kolegija Higher Education Institution is participating in the creation of a unique linguistic framework.
