Description
English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) is a complex and steadily growing global phenomenon. EMI support provided to academics by language teachers and linguists is essential, however, successful members of today´s academic community are expected to excel in a whole range of extra-linguistic skills as well. Therefore, an effective EMI support should combine linguistic and extra-linguistic competencies. This panel entry will focus on practical issues in approaches to the language of instructions, feedback and evaluation in the English as academic lingua franca and in the EMI.
