Whilst acknowledging that the momentum of EMI is unlikelyto be diminished, and identifying its potential benefits, theauthor raises questions about the ways it has been introducedand developed, and explores how we can arrive at a truecost benefit analysis of its future impact. This state-of-the-art monograph presents a wide-ranging, multi-perspectival yet coherent overview of research, policy, and practice of English Medium Instruction around theglobe. It gives a thorough, in-depth, and thought-provokingtreatment of an educational phenomenon that is spreadingon an unprecedented scale.
