Future Challenges for English-Medium Instruction at the Tertiary Level 330 $aThis book provides critical insights into the English-medium instruction (EMI) experiences which have been implemented at a number of universities in countries such as China, Finland, Israel, the Netherlands, South Africa, Spain and the USA, which are characterised by differing political, cultural and sociolinguistic situations. In particular, it reflects on the consequences of implementing EMI as an attempt to gain visibility and as a strategy in response to the need to become competitive in both national and international markets. The pitfalls and challenges specific to each setting are analysed, and the pedagogical issues and methodological implications that arise from the implementation of these programmes are also discussed. This volume will serve to advance our awareness about the strategies and tools needed to improve EMI at tertiary level. 410 0$aMultilingual Matters 606 $aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching (Higher)$xForeign speakers 606 $aEducation, Higher$xEvaluation$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aUniversities and colleges$xEvaluation$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aLanguage and education 606 $aSecond language acquisition 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching (Higher)$xForeign speakers. 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xEvaluation 615 0$aUniversities and colleges$xEvaluation 615 0$aLanguage and education. 615 0$aSecond language acquisition. 676 $a428.00711 701 $aDoiz$b Aintzane$01036323 701 $aLasagabaster$b David$f1967-$01036201 701 $aSierra$b Juan Manuel$01036324 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462547503321 996 $aEnglish-medium instruction at universities$92456574 997 $aUNINA
