The effectiveness of EMI in teaching: A comparison of lecturer and student perspectives
Xuất bản: tháng 7 30, 2026
Tóm tắt
English as a medium for instruction (EMI) is a globally emerging phenomenon and countries have recorded an exponential growth in EMI courses in the past few decades. The implementation of EMI programs in Vietnam, however, confronts a number of problems and constraints. This study attempts to explore EMI teaching effectiveness by comparing students evaluation with lectures self-evaluation as well as required improvements to EMI courses in economics-related disciplines. The findings underscore the need for university administrators to provide content teachers with training on EMI teaching approach. Some pedagogical implications are proposed to EMI curriculum developers and teachers for future effective development of EMI programs.
