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.

The purpose of the conference was to represent recent developments
in measure theoretic, differentiable and topological dynamical
systems as well as connections to probability theory, stochastic
processes, operator theory and statistical physics. Only original
research papers that do not appear elsewhere are included in the
proceedings. Their topics include: C(2)-diffeomorphisms of compact
Riemann manifolds, geodesic flows, chaotic behaviour in billards,
nonlinear ergodic theory, central limit theorems for subadditive
processes, Hausdorff measures for parabolic rational maps, Markov
operators, periods of cycles, Julia sets, ergodic theorems. From
the Contents: L.A. Bunimovich: On absolutely focusing mirrors.- M.
Denker, M. Urbanski: The dichotomy of Hausdorff measures and
equilibrium states for parabolic rational maps.- F. Ledrappier:
Ergodic properties of the stable foliations.- U. Wacker: Invariance
principles and central limit theorems for nonadditive stationary
processes.- J. Schmeling, R. Siegmund-Schultze: Hoelder continuity
of the holonomy map for hyperbolic basic sets.- A.M. Blokh: The
spectral decomposition, periods of cycles and Misiurewicz
conjecture for graph maps.- and contributions by Chr. Bandt and K.
