Internationalising Learning in Higher Education: The Challenges of English as a Medium of Instruction

Editat de María Luisa Carrió-Pastor
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 aug 2020
This edited book examines the use of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in a variety of international higher education contexts. The internationalization of education – indicated by increasing mobility of students, staff and ideas, as well as by policies and programmes put in place to facilitate educational exchange - has led to increasing adoption of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) for educational purposes. In this book, the authors present the results of empirical research into the implementation, assessment, development and use of EMI programmes in different settings, presenting the case for more structured training of teachers and staff. It will be of interest to second/foreign language teaching and administrative staff, as well as anyone else involved in teaching in English at higher education level.

Recenzii

“This volume is of great significance in promoting the development of EMI theory and practice in universities. … this is a book suitable for graduate students with a certain discipline foundation and researchers or scholars in EMI; pre-service and in-service teachers and school administrators can also learn something to improve their level. Its innovative content and typical cases in the book are the reasons why it should be recommended.” (Jingjing Zhang, Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, Vol. 44 (1), 2022)
