About the Theme<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
English Medium Instruction (EMI) is the use of English to teach academic content in countries where English is not the first language. In 2014, Julie Dearden and the British Council published a comprehensive report on EMI and found that there is rapid growth in EMI around the globe and that there is often official government support for EMI programs. They also found a mix of attitudes, both enthusiastic and lukewarm support, in favor of EMI, but that one of the potential concerns is that EMI may leave those with a lower socio-economic status without access. Another concern in their findings was EMI might lead to the undermining of the first language and\/or national identity.<\/span><\/div>\n
The goal of this volume is to be a venue to explore many current perspectives on EMI, from empirical data to theoretical considerations, to putting the theory into practice in practical classroom applications. Chapters may examine K-12 and\/or higher education contexts, specific institutions, countries, or regions, among just a few considerations.<\/span><\/div>\n
Possible topics might address one or more of the following (but not at all limited to these topics):<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00b7 Effectiveness of language learning in EMI settings<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00b7 Attitudes toward EMI<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00b7 Practical applications of EMI<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00b7 Problems in implementing EMI<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00b7 Why students choose EMI over other educational settings<\/span><\/div>\n

\u00b7 Policy issues with EMI<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00b7 Advantages and\/or disadvantages of EMI during and after education<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00b7 Status in EMI contexts (attitudes toward those who have native-like ability)<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00b7 Issues that non-language faculty face teaching in EMI contexts<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00b7 Issues in learning content in EMI settings<\/span><\/div>\n
