Description
Ernesto Macaro explores the significant rise of English Medium Instruction (EMI) across various educational contexts. With a keen eye on the implications of this linguistic trend, the work delves into how EMI influences teaching practices, learning outcomes, and the overall educational landscape.
The author meticulously examines the challenges and opportunities that arise in environments where English is used as the primary language of instruction. Through a comprehensive review of current research, he highlights the experiences of both teachers and students, illuminating how language choice can impact student engagement and academic success.
Macaro's examination also addresses the broader sociocultural implications of EMI, including issues of identity and globalization. This insightful exploration serves as a valuable resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers looking to understand and navigate the complexities of teaching and learning in an English-dominated academic world.
