The 'internationalisation', or 'Englishisation', of higher education in East Asia
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This study examines the implementation and perceptions of English-Medium Instruction (EMI) in universities in China and Japan. It finds varying approaches to EMI implementation and highlights contextual constraints, including language-related challenges and the need for more context-sensitive policy development. Stakeholders largely viewed EMI positively for potential benefits like improved English proficiency and employability but also acknowledged challenges such as limited English proficiency among both students and faculty and cultural differences in teaching and learning styles.
