About this book
This book is the first to offer a conceptual framework of English-medium education that can be used across different international higher education (HE) contexts. It provides readers with an understanding of the complexities, possibilities and challenges that this phenomenon raises in the 21st century. Making the case for the pressing need for an overarching conceptualisation, the authors discuss, from a theoretical point of view, the recently introduced ROAD-MAPPING framework for ‘English Medium Education in Multilingual University Settings’ (EMEMUS). Drawing on current research and examples from a variety of settings, the book makes a strong case for the applicability of the framework in two important directions: as a methodological tool for researching educational practices and as an analytical guide to examine policies and teacher education programmes.
Reviews
“Dafouz and Smit’s concise book offers a timely comprehensive conceptual and analytical framework, ROAD-MAPPING, that gives readers new insights into EMEMUS and that systematically encompasses the most influential dimensions that researchers, educators, managers and policy makers should consider. The book aims at an audience interested in carrying out contextualized research in: classroom discourse; stakeholders’ beliefs and attitudes; EMEMUS implementation, management and policies; or teacher training among others.” (Mercedes Querol-Julián, Revista Española de Lingüística Aplicada, Vol. 34 (1), 2021)
“I was very motivated to read more and explore current proposals and new perspectives offered in this book, as my everyday reality is teaching within a multilingual classroom delivering the Modern Languages and Translation Degree at the University of Alcalá (Madrid). … one of the most useful applications of the ROAD-MAPPING model: it pays attention to the difficulties of lecturers. … This model goes a long way in being able to offer this.” (Maya G. Vinuesa, Miscelánea, Vol. 62, 2020)
