Abstract

"This book examines the 'English mania phenomenon' and the complex circumstances of adopting English Medium Instruction (EMI) by South Asian education systems and the effect of an uneven distribution of resources on the already under-resourced countries in the region. Chapters explore linguistic, social, and economic injustices by using an analytic-critical approach to examinations of the place, role, provisions, and practices of EMI in specific English language teaching (ELT) contexts. The book consequently advocates for the wholescale reform of a system, which, the authors argue, is unjust. Ultimately, the book explores socio-cultural, poststructuralist, and English linguistic imperialism theories to contribute a South Asian perspective on the controversy surrounding EMI and examine its role within a wider global discourse on equity and social justice. Critically examining the spread of English in South Asia, this book will be of relevance to researchers, scholars, and postgraduate students in applied linguistics, language education, TESOL, and sociolinguistics"--

Abstract

"This handbook discusses the theoretical and disciplinary background to the study of English-medium instruction (EMI) in higher education worldwide. It highlights issues relating to EMI pedagogy, varying motivations for EMI education, and the delivery of EMI in diverse contexts across the world. The spread of English as a teaching medium and the lingua franca of the academic world has been the subject of various debates in recent years on the perceived hegemony of the English language and the 'domain loss' of non-English languages in academic communication. Encompassing a wide range of contributions to the field of EMI, the chapters of this handbook are arranged in four distinct parts: Part I provides an overview of English-medium instruction in higher education worldwide; Part II focuses on EMI in Europe; Part III on EMI in the Middle East, North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa; and Part IV on EMI in the Asian region. The overall scope and level of expertise of this handbook provides an unrivalled authoritativeness on this field of education. It serves as an essential reference for many courses dealing with applied linguistics, English language education, multilingualism, sociolinguistics and related subjects at many levels of education, including Master's and PhD level studies. A valuable edition for university libraries across the world, and an essential read for many faculty, undergraduate and postgraduate students, educators, and policy makers"--
