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).
