English Medium Instruction (EMI) refers to the use of the English language to teach academic subjects where first language of the majority of the population is not English. One popular implementation of EMI, the Multilingual Model, would imply that some aspects (e.g. courses, sessions in some courses, and/or assessment) are taught through English, whereas the first language of the students is used in some other respects.

This volume explores context-related ways in which the multilingual EMI model and translingual practices are seen and enacted in higher education contexts across the globe. Research on this topic is not only timely but also very much needed, particularly in contexts that are relatively new to EMI, as well as in contexts where monolingual forms of teaching and monolingual institutional policies still prevail. Empirical, research-based studies as well as theoretical reviews that centre around multilingual and translingual practices in partial and full (i.e. English-only) EMI settings are elaborated, with case studies from Colombia, Indonesia, Iraq, Norway, Qatar, Spain, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, the UK and the USA.

Reviews for Multilingual and Translingual Practices in English-Medium Instruction: Perspectives from Global Higher Education Contexts

A timely contribution to scholarship on multilingual practices in EMI, this volume highlights perspectives from multiple stakeholders in educational contexts from around the global. With its emphasis on a global perspective, this is essential reading for anyone interested in issues of multilingualism and EMI. -- Kari Sahan, University of Reading, UK This is a significant collection of studies that systematically explored multilingual and translingual practices in a variety of EMI contexts. These studies collectively send out an important message regarding the global rise of EMI: the sustainable implementation of EMI practices should rely on the multilingual resources that students and teachers bring to the classroom. I would like to congratulate the editors on producing this excellent volume containing critical insights to inform efforts to implement EMI without undermining the learning and teaching of national language(s) and other languages in many educational contexts. -- Xuesong (Andy) Gao, University of New South Wales, Australia Competently edited by key scholars in the field, this collection explores one of the hottest topics in applied linguistics: English as a medium of instruction. Leading the field towards a multilingual future, it offers a wealth of insights, including some rare glimpses into hardly ever researched contexts. -- Anna Kristina Hultgren, Open University, UK Covering a diversity of national contexts, this volume of original case studies and state-of-the-art reviews, edited by three internationally acclaimed scholars of EMI, examines the perceptions and enactment of multilingual and translingual practices in higher education EMI from context-sensitive perspectives. It is a valuable addition to the growing literature on a phenomenon of great import. -- Guangwei Hu, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong
