Student Motivation in English-Medium Instruction
Empirical Studies in a Japanese University
AvNaoko Kojima
Inbunden, Engelska, 2021
953 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book explores Japanese students’ learning experiences and challenges in English medium instruction (EMI) from motivational perspectives. Using self-determination theory (SDT) as the framework, the first part reveals a lack of the three psychological needs of SDT (autonomy, competence, relatedness) that cause loss of students’ initial interest in learning English language and content. The author outlines pedagogical interventions that can be implemented in order to make the learning environment better. The second half of the book shows the effects these interventions had on the fulfillment of the three psychological needs, especially perceived relatedness and autonomy. In conclusion, the author focuses on the importance of listening to Japanese students’ voices and building a community that can motivate students, thus maximizing the pedagogical effectiveness of EMI. This volume will be useful to anyone involved in motivation, language learning or EMI research, pedagogy or practice.

This volume explores the inner-workings of English-medium instruction (EMI) in higher education (HE) at two universities. After an introductory chapter that sets the scene and provides an essential background, there are four empirically based chapters that draw on data collected from a range of sources at two universities in Catalonia. This includes interviews, audio/video recordings of classes, audio logs produced by both lecturers and students, policy documents, students’ written work, and student presentation evaluation rubrics. These chapters examine the following issues: (1) the choice of either English or Catalan as the medium of instruction by students and lecturers; (2) how students display ambivalence towards EMI, as well as a general lack of enthusiasm towards and an ironic distance from 'doing education’; (3) how students resist EMI by contravening its English monolingual norm, using their L1s in the classroom; and finally, (4) how EMI lecturers on occasion act as English language teachers despite their continued claims to the contrary. The book ends with a concluding chapter that draws all of the strands together around key themes.This book is written for scholars interested in issues surrounding EMI in HE in general, as well as those EMI in HE practitioners who have adopted a reflective approach to their professional practice and wish to know more about the ins and outs of EMI in HE from multiple perspectives. It is a useful resource for MA and PhD students on applied linguistics programmes in which the roles and uses of English in HE worldwide are deemed to be important and worthy of attention. Additionally, this will be relevant to courses or modules focusing on language policy, as well as curriculum issues more broadly and language teaching practice more specifically.
Supporting EMI Students Outside of the Classroom
Evidence from Japan

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
There is a growing body of research on English-medium Instruction (EMI) in Asian contexts, and much of this research points out difficulties experienced by stakeholders. This volume takes up the issue of support for EMI, which is, and which can be, offered to students outside of the classroom in order to help them succeed academically in an EMI environment. Dr Ruegg’s book demonstrates the effectiveness of such support in the Japanese context. It begins by examining the support currently available for students in English-medium full degree programmes then goes on to examine one successful support service in more detail in order to determine the kinds of effects that can be achieved by establishing such a centre. The research reported in this book was conducted in Japan, but the findings will apply in other locations, especially in other Asian countries. The information provided in the book is expected to inform institutions who are looking to either establish an English-medium degree programme or improve on an existing programme by sharing information about the practices of other institutions.

Researching English-Medium Higher Education
Diverse Applications and Critical Evaluations of the ROAD-MAPPING Framework
AvEmma Dafouz,Ute Smit
Inbunden, Engelska, 2023
2 413 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Set against the increasing use of English-medium higher education across the world, this book brings together researchers and practitioners who, despite coming from very different geopolitical areas and pursuing distinct research objectives, coincide in their use of the ROAD-MAPPING conceptual framework.With the use of this framework and its six interrelated dimensions, the nine studies included in this volume explore key topics for English-Medium Education in Multilingual University Settings (EMEMUS) from diverse perspectives. These range from multi-sited, meta-level approaches critically analysing different countries and their realisations of EMEMUS to using ROAD-MAPPING as a methodological tool to analyse all its dimensions or place the lens on a particular aspect. By doing so, the contributions demonstrate the strength of the ROAD-MAPPING framework for investigating and understanding the complex nature of EMEMUS.The volume makes a valuable contribution to the development of EMEMUS research and is thus highly recommended for scholars, policymakers and students interested in one of the most fast-growing (and contested) research areas in applied linguistics today.

English-Medium Instruction in Turkish Universities
Policies, Practices, and Perceptions

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
In response to the growing use of English as an international language, the number of English-medium instruction (EMI) programs in higher education has increased. However, decisions to implement EMI programs are often made through top-down policymaking processes with little consideration for the educational issues surrounding language policy changes.This book examines the variation with which EMI is implemented at universities in Turkey through a multilevel empirical investigation of policies, practices, and perceptions. In addition to providing a sociohistorical overview of EMI in Turkey, the book draws on a dataset that includes policy documents, classroom observations, interviews with teachers, and focus group discussions with students. Despite national policies which envision a "one-language-at-a-time" model of EMI education, this book argues that EMI is neither English-only nor English-always in practice. By highlighting the variation with which EMI is implemented at and across Turkish universities, this study illustrates the need for more comprehensive EMI policies and processes aimed at integrating content and language learning in higher education.Implications are discussed with respect to policy planning, program development, and pedagogical support and will be relevant for researchers and postgraduate research students interested in EMI, particularly in the Turkish context.

Input in English-Medium Instruction

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This edited book investigates the input provided by lecturers in English-Medium Instruction (EMI) to reveal the characteristics of both written and oral inputs in EMI settings and their pedagogical implications.The book works on two assumptions: firstly, that field exposure to input is the prime mover of the teaching-learning process and secondly, that its quality is fundamental for the development of discipline-specific knowledge with particular reference to university settings. The volume is timely as it contains original research addressing both theoretical reflections and practical information on how content lecturers can enhance the effectiveness of their teaching practice through English including a relatively unexplored and increasingly relevant topic represented by the synergy between spoken input and written and multimodal materials.Moreover, it provides insight for EAP teachers and EMI training professionals into how lecturer training programmes and activities can be improved by focusing on communicative functions and presentation strategies that can selectively address and improve students’ mastery of disciplinary discourse.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Examining English medium instruction (EMI) through a corpus-based approach, this volume offers a critical inquiry into the use of different linguistic and pedagogical strategies in the EMI classroom. It explores aspects of content lecturers’ language use, pedagogy, and intercultural communicative competence by drawing on the findings obtained from EMI lecture corpus analysis and post-observation interviews with EMI lecturers from five universities in Croatia, Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain.The book also offers insights into lecturers’ engagement with students in English, which is their second language, as well as their perception of differences between EMI and first-language-medium instruction (L1MI). Finally, the volume provides readers with corpus-based analysis of teachers’ oral ability profiles, as a basis for the identification of communicational challenges and provision of language support.The book will be of interest to scholars interested in EMI in higher education, and postgraduate students in applied linguistics and TESOL programs. It will also be relevant to teachers who are involved in EMI provision, teacher trainers who design support programs for EMI teachers, and policymakers who establish language-in-education policies for EMI.

Dynamics of Trust in English Medium Instruction
Applying Situated Linguistic Capital Theory

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book explores South Korean university students’ perceptions of the English Medium Instruction (EMI) courses they have taken. It specifically examines how the interplay of linguistic capital and trust shapes their EMI experiences.In South Korea, the implementation of neoliberal EMI policies, driven by a 'top-down' approach, has failed to adequately address the linguistic challenges faced by stakeholders. The setting for the book is a research-intensive university, where data were collected from ten engineering and business students through semi-structured interviews and analysed using Constructivist Grounded Theory (CGT), enabling a grounded understanding of the students’ perceptions. The areas investigated are students’ perceptions of their past experiences, of their access to subject content, and of how interactions take shape in their EMI experiences. Emerging from the analysis is a dynamic between trust and linguistic capital, which has been shaped by the past and which affects the future, leading to epistemic outcomes. The results indicate that monolingually framed trust in situated-linguistic codes plays a role in the students’ EMI experiences, and from this ‘Situated-Linguistic Capital Theory’ emerges. The theory indicates that monolingually framed trust reinforces binary choices, in particular EMI situations, of using either the L1 or the L2 system, which can lead to potential epistemic outcomes. The book concludes with a discussion of the factors that can determine the future success of EMI in South Korea.This volume will be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students examining English Medium Instruction and its success in different higher education contexts.

Towards Critical English Medium Instruction in Post-Soviet Contexts
Perspectives, Practices and Prospects
AvSyed Abdul Manan,Anas Hajar
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
2 401 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This pioneering volume brings together established and emerging scholars to explore English Medium Instruction (EMI) through a critical lens across post-Soviet regions, including Central Asian republics and countries like Azerbaijan, Georgia, Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine, and Russia.As English rapidly expands within educational spheres across these nations—driven by globalization, neoliberalism, and Englishization, this volume addresses a significant research gap by moving beyond traditional managerial and administrative approaches to EMI. The contributors examine how EMI intersects with five critical dimensions: ideology, policy, identity, social justice, and the politics of English. Rather than focusing solely on technical aspects like language proficiency and teacher training, the volume interrogates how EMI reshapes linguistic hierarchies, influences teacher and learner identities, and potentially perpetuates linguistic imperialism and Eurocentric paradigms. By situating EMI within local sociolinguistic ecologies and cultural contexts, the authors advocate for more equitable, transformative educational practices that acknowledge multilingual repertoires and indigenous knowledge systems. Bringing together empirical data and theoretical analyses of various critical aspects of EMI, the contributors shed light on the nuances, complexities, challenges, and opportunities that these highly diverse multilingual post-Soviet contexts present.Offering frameworks for recontextualizing EMI within Global South epistemologies, this book will be an essential reading for researchers, educators, and policymakers engaged with language policy, internationalization, multilingual education, and decoloniality.
