| Description | The internationalisation of educational institutions and establishment of English as the lingua franca for the majority of academic disciplines in the last decades have changed the dynamics of educational language support and made English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) a central and steadily growing global phenomenon.? Language teachers and teacher trainers are often asked to develop and provide EMI support, despite the fact that such support includes much more than language aspects. This text addresses the linguistic and extra-linguistic skills EFL/ESP teachers need to be aware of when providing EMI support, presents the challenges that EMI brings, and discusses the roles EFL/ESP teachers can play in successfully supporting EMI. |
