This book offers new insights into the language gains of adult
learners enrolled in an English-medium instruction (EMI) degree
programme. It provides longitudinal empirical evidence of the
phonological gains of the learners; discusses which individual
factors contribute to the changes in the learners' pronunciation
and investigates whether and to what extent increased exposure to
the target language in EMI classrooms leads to incidental learning
of second language pronunciation. Furthermore, it expands on the
discussions surrounding the Critical Period Hypothesis, the
native-speaker norm, foreign language accent and the role of
English as a Lingua Franca. The comparative and longitudinal design
of the research study fills a significant gap in the literature and
the book offers considerable original and important
research-informed insights into the fields of EMI, bilingual
education and second language acquisition. As such, it is a
valuable resource and must-read book for researchers, practitioners
and policymakers in these areas.
