Emi (English as medium of instruction) in modeling specialized courses at a University

A number of approaches to teaching a foreign language based on the use of English as the main language of instruction (EMI-English as Medium of Instruction) in the higher education system are highlighted in the article.Particular attention is paid to "subject-language integrated learning" (CLIL) as the most progressive approach to defining the content of vocational education. EMI is increasingly being implemented via top-down policies, sometimes with little attention to the educational implications that learning through a second language can have for the millions of students affected. Thus, this research group aims to fill this void in its exploration of the effects of EMI on language learning, content learning, teaching delivery, quality of education, inequalities of access, language flexibility and hybridity, the competencies needed to be a successful EMI teacher, and other multi-faceted aspects of EMI.
