This book sets out to uncover and discuss the curricular, pedagogical as
well as cultural-political issues relating to ideological contradictions
inherent in the adoption of English as medium of instruction in Japanese
education. Situating the Japanese adoption of EMI in contradicting
discourses of outward globalization and inward Japaneseness, the book
critiques the current trend, in which EMI merely serves as an ornamental
and promotional function rather than a robust educational intervention.
