English Medium Instruction (EMI)

What is it?

An increasing number of higher education institutions are adopting English as the medium of instruction for parts of their education. This means that vital academic exchanges are now taking place more frequently in second languages (L2) from both the teacher and student side. While this leads to increased proficiency in English, the lingua france, it can also prove challenging for all parties concerned and thus inhibit communication between teachers and students.

The benefits

• Fine tune your target discourse
• Improve your ability to cope with student communication difficulties in the classroom
• Become more aware of cultural aspects at play in the classroom
• Enhance necessary soft skills when engaging and guiding students in workshop like environments as well as outside the classroom
