Multilingual and Translingual Practices in English-Medium Instruction

<b>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.</b>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. <br/><br/>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.
