Review Quotes:
"Fang and Sah have compiled a comprehensive volume that addresses prominent needs in the EMI in higher education literature. The contributors of the eight chapters provide convincing, data-driven arguments from EMI classrooms in East, Southeast, South, and Central Asia, highlighting key pedagogical issues with an eye on how they are shaped by multilingualism agendas. This volume is a valuable resource for all those seeking solid, empirical evidence investigating EMI policies and pedagogies from bottom-up perspectives." - Dr Jim McKinley, Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics, University College London
"Edited by two leading scholars of English-medium instruction in Asian contexts, this excellent collection of original papers examines this popular form of language provision from multiple perspectives, in a diversity of Asian educational settings, and involving a variety of stake-holders. Collectively, the chapters showcase the complexity of EMI, the multiplicity of mediating factors, and the array of challenges and problems in the development and implementation of EMI programs/courses. They provide a rich tapestry of EMI in Asian universities."
