Focusing on English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in the Arab
Gulf states, the authors consider both sociolinguistic and
pedagogical perspectives, and explore practical implications. This
edited volume features chapters covering how teachers are
negotiating the linguistic challenges posed by EMI; issues of
ownership, choice and agency; the scaffolding of academic
literacies; how to support the development of content teachers'
pedagogical content knowledge in EMI settings as well as the
benefits of a bilingual education. Chapter authors all have
extensive local experience that they draw upon reflectively in
their writing. Policy-makers, teachers and teacher educators
wondering how they can best balance the need to develop competence
in English in students of all ages on the Arabian Peninsula in a
globalizing world, together with the concern to nurture Arabic
language, culture and identity, will gain rich insights from this
book. Postgraduates and researchers exploring issues surrounding
EMI, both locally and internationally, will benefit from the
arguments presented in this volume.
