Abstract
This chapter introduces and contextualises twelve case studies, collected in the volume Multilingual Education Yearbook 2023: Teaching with Technology in English-Medium Instruction Universities in Multilingual China (Corbett et al., 2023). The case studies describe and discuss the use of technology to support EMI in universities in China and Macao. The chapter explains the educational context, namely, higher education in multilingual China, the growth of Sino-foreign educational institutions in China, and the development of an EMI institution, the University of Macau, in Macao. The introduction previews emerging themes with respect to technological and curricular innovations in these contexts.
