This volume explores the inner-workings of English-medium
instruction (EMI) in higher education (HE) at two universities.
After an introductory chapter that sets the scene and provides an
essential background, there are four empirically based chapters
that draw on data collected from a range of sources at two
universities in Catalonia. This includes interviews, audio/video
recordings of classes, audio logs produced by both lecturers and
students, policy documents, students' written work, and student
presentation evaluation rubrics. These chapters examine the
following issues: (1) the choice of either English or Catalan as
the medium of instruction by students and lecturers; (2) how
students display ambivalence towards EMI, as well as a general lack
of enthusiasm towards and an ironic distance from 'doing
education'; (3) how students resist EMI by contravening its English
monolingual norm, using their L1s in the classroom; and finally,
(4) how EMI lecturers on occasion act as English language teachers
despite their continued claims to the contrary. The book ends with
a concluding chapter that draws all of the strands together around
key themes. This book is written for scholars interested in issues
surrounding EMI in HE in general, as well as those EMI in HE
practitioners who have adopted a reflective approach to their
professional practice and wish to know more about the ins and outs
of EMI in HE from multiple perspectives. It is a useful resource
for MA and PhD students on applied linguistics programmes in which
the roles and uses of English in HE worldwide are deemed to be
important and worthy of attention. Additionally, this will be
relevant to courses or modules focusing on language policy, as well
as curriculum issues more broadly and language teaching practice
more specifically.
