About this book
Reviews
“This book makes a very important and timely contribution to the current debate regarding university programmes of English Medium Instruction. The nine chapters in the first part critique EMI policies in most national contexts in the Asia-Pacific region, while the following six focus on practical implications based on original empirical evidence. Although the negative aspects of EMI policies are highlighted, there are clear indications as to how some of these might be overcome. The book should be essential reading for all academic stakeholders – including lecturers of university disciplines, language teaching experts and – above all – national and institutional policymakers.” (Roger Barnard, Associate Professor, Applied Linguistics, University of Waikato)
