English is increasingly used as a lingua franca (ELF) in
communicative situations the world over with the acceleration of
globalisation. This is in line with the increased introduction of
English-medium instruction (EMI) to higher education institutions
in many parts of the world to further promote both students' and
faculty's mobility to make them competitive and employable in the
globalised world, and to make their institutions more attractive
and reputable. EMI and ELF, however, are rarely explicitly
investigated together despite the fact that the spread of EMI
cannot be separated from that of ELF. This volume tackles the issue
head on by focusing on EMI in higher education from an ELF
perspective. The volume includes contributions by Asian, European,
Middle Eastern, South American and Anglo-American scholars. It
discusses language policies, attitudes and identities, analyses of
classroom EMI practices, case studies and finally, pedagogical
implications from an ELF perspective, incorporating also
theoretical and empirical issues in conducting EMI
courses/programmes. The volume will be of great interest and use,
not only to those who are conducting research on ELF, EMI, CLIL,
language policy and related fields, but also to classroom teachers
and policy makers who are conducting and/or planning to start EMI
courses/programmes in their institutions or countries all over the
world.
