Routledge Studies in English-Medium Instruction
About the Book Series
Routledge Studies in English-Medium Instruction brings together research demonstrating the impact of work from applied and educational linguistics on the phenomenon of EMI. While maintaining a focus on EMI, rather than other forms of content and language integration more broadly, the series looks at EMI from a broad perspective. The series showcases research on a range of topics closely related to EMI such as assessment, delivery of instruction, translanguaging, vocabulary, language policy, support for instructors, the transition from CLIL to EMI and the development of L1 academic literacy. The series acts as a focal point for the growing body of research on EMI and will be of particular interest to students and scholars in applied linguistics, TESOL, TEFL, higher education pedagogy, and language education.
Prospective authors interested in working on a volume for the series may contact series editors Diane Pecorari and Hans Malmström for further information.
