At the level of study programmes, 22 specific programmes were selected for further analysis. These included English-taught, Estonian-taught and multi-language programmes. All the interviews aimed to map the challenges related to the use of different languages in the study context and to provide recommendations on how to better regulate the balance between Estonian and English language instruction.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the main priorities of Estonian higher education over the past decade has been internationalisation, which has increased the share of English-taught programmes (ETP) at Estonian universities.
