Amy Bik May Tsui (Curatore)

Ernesto Macaro (Curatore)

Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024

Tsui and Macaro's volume addresses a central issue in English Medium Instruction (EMI) and draws on research and practice from both content teachers and language specialists. It covers a range of academic disciplines and contains contributions by internationally recognized researchers and practitioners in EMI, as well as covering both the theoretical orientations and pedagogical practices of EMI. The chapters provide an in-depth account of how language needs to be integrated into the various academic subjects being taught through the medium of English in higher education in non-anglophone countries. Its contributors are either second language specialists or teachers directly responsible for teaching in the different disciplines. The book calls for much greater collaboration between these actors and for a sense of shared responsibility for ensuring that English Medium Instruction, a phenomenon that is now established worldwide, is successful for all students. It will be of interest to students, researchers and teachers of English Medium Instruction in both secondary and higher education.
