Beschreibung

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.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'English-Medium Instruction from an English as a Lingua Franca Perspective is the first book which explicitly discusses English-medium Instruction (EMI) from the perspective of English as a lingua franca (ELF). The contributors to this volume deal with a wide range of issues concerning ELF informed EMI from the macro- to the micro-level, from the theory to practice, from policy-makers, teachers to students. This volume will sharpen our awareness of ELF in the various setting of EMI in higher education institutions and at the same time deepen our understanding of the new landscape of EMI.' - Qiufang Wen, Professor of National Research Centre for Foreign Language Education, Beijing Foreign Studies University

'In this innovative, interdisciplinary volume, Kumiko Murata has succeeded in combining two related, but hitherto often separately presented research fields: English-medium instruction (EMI) and English as a lingua franca (ELF). The book features chapters by international scholars discussing recent theoretical and empirical work on EMI from an ELF perspective. Research areas covered include Higher Education, language policies, attitudes, identities and classroom practices. It is without any reservation that I recommend this volume to EMI and ELF researchers, language policy makers, classroom teachers and anybody interested in embarking on EMI programmes.' - Juliane House, Professor emerita, Hamburg University

'English-medium instruction (EMI) is practiced worldwide to promote the mobility of students and teachers in accordance with the acceleration of globalization. However, EMI has never been explicitly discussed in relation to English used as a lingua franca (ELF). The current volume addresses this issue in a timely and pertinent fashion. The contributors are from wide-ranging situations, and persuasively describe and discuss their own EMI-related research and practices in precise detail. Highly recommended.' - Akira Tajino, Professor Emeritus, Kyoto University
