This book presents the multiple facets of English as a Medium of
Instruction (EMI) in higher education across various academic
disciplines, an area that is expected to grow constantly in response to
the competitive global higher education market. The studies presented
were conducted in various EMI classrooms, with data collected from
observing and documenting the teaching activities, and from interviewing
or surveying EMI participants. Through data analysis and synthesis,
cases across disciplines - from engineering, science, technology,
business, social science, medical science, design and arts, to tourism
and leisure service sectors - are used to illustrate the various EMI
curriculum designs and classroom practices. Although the cases described
are limited to Taiwanese institutions, the book bridges the gap between
planning and executing EMI programs across academic domains for policy
makers, administrators, content teachers, and teacher trainers
throughout Asia.
