This book offers a window into student perceptions of
English-Medium Instruction (EMI), building on research from an
Italian university to provide a better understanding of attitudes
toward EMI in Europe and future directions for cross-country
comparative research. The volume provides context on the current
situation with EMI in Italy, unpacking debates around the tensions
between the increased competitiveness it brings at the higher
education level with the potential detrimental impact of English on
local language practices. Seeking to introduce a counterpoint to
existing research on lecturer experiences, Guarda draws on a wide
range of data, from online questionnaires to semi-structured
interviews and a focus group, to showcase perceptions on EMI from
students enrolled in English-Taught Programmes at the University of
Padova over a two-year period. The resulting insights contribute to
the current literature on EMI toward creating a clearer and more
holistic picture of the advantages and challenges of learning
through English and implications for quality improvement measures
for EMI implementation in Italy, Europe and beyond. This book will
be of interest to scholars in English-Medium Instruction and
applied linguistics, especially to those working on issues around
language policy, bilingual education and the internationalisation
of higher education.
