Tsui and Macaro's volume addresses a central issue in English Medium Instruction (EMI) and draws on research and practice from both content teachers and language specialists.

It covers a range of academic disciplines and contains contributions by internationally recognized researchers and practitioners in EMI, as well as covering both the theoretical orientations and pedagogical practices of EMI. The chapters provide an in-depth account of how language needs to be integrated into the various academic subjects being taught through the medium of English in higher education in non-anglophone countries. Its contributors are either second language specialists or teachers directly responsible for teaching in the different disciplines. The book calls for much greater collaboration between these actors and for a sense of shared responsibility for ensuring that English Medium Instruction, a phenomenon that is now established worldwide, is successful for all students.

It will be of interest to students, researchers and teachers of English Medium Instruction in both secondary and higher education

Amy Bik May Tsui is Yu-Shan Fellow and Chair Professor of the English Department at National Taiwan Normal University and Professor Emerita at The University of Hong Kong (HKU). She is also former Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President at HKU, during which she led the historic reform of undergraduate education across the university. She has published extensively on language policy, classroom discourse, conversational analysis, teacher development and teacher expertise. She obtained her PhD in linguistics at Birmingham University (UK) and was awarded Doctor of Education (honoris causa) by the University of Edinburgh (UK) in 2015 in recognition of her outstanding contribution to teaching and learning in higher education and her research excellence. Ernesto Macaro is Emeritus Professor of Applied Linguistics at the University of Oxford in the Department of Education, of which he is also a former Director. Before becoming a teacher educator and researcher, he was a language teacher in secondary schools in the UK for 16 years. His research has focused on second language learning strategies and on the interaction between teachers and learners in second language classrooms. He now applies these foci to classrooms where academic content is being taught through English. He has published widely on these topics and is now considered a world-expert on English Medium Instruction.
