In this special edited volume, the editors and invited English Medium
Instruction (EMI) researchers, from different parts of the world,
outline the latest EMI research methods. Providing academic
instruction using English is rapidly spreading in many countries where
English is a second or foreign language, and there is a growing
interest in researching the effectiveness and effects of EMI across
different educational levels. This volume includes chapters on
everything from research into classroom interaction to teachers’ and
students’ perceptions and motivations to language challenges and
strategies and the pedagogical implications of translanguaging in EMI
classrooms. These specific topics were chosen to reflect different
approaches to researching EMI. Each chapter focuses on a specific type
of research methodology. It begins with an overview of the literature
of the topic under discussion. Then an example study is provided to
illustrate how this methodology can be used to investigate EMI. Each
chapter identifies the process that the EMI researcher used to conduct
their research and discusses key dilemmas they faced, focusing
particularly on the methodological issues they encountered. By
exploring these issues, this volume hopes to inform theory (or the
lack thereof) underlying research into the phenomenon of EMI. This
volume is indispensable for EMI tutors, curriculum developers,
policymakers, and teachers, as well as students at both undergraduate
and postgraduate levels. It is particularly valuable for researchers
from across the globe working in the fields of applied linguistics,
language education, English for Academic Purposes (EAP), English
Language Teaching (ELT), and Teaching English to Speakers of Other
Languages (TESOL).
