EMI (English Medium Instruction) is defined as the use of English to teach academic subjects in countries where the first language is not English. This fast-growing area in secondary and tertiary education is an elusive concept. The ten chapters of this 334-page book in the Oxford Applied Linguistics series successfully explore EMI from various perspectives, including language policies, the cost-benefit ratio, and teacher and student viewpoints. This extensively-researched book is insightful on ‘translanguaging’ (using both English and L1) and dealing with technical vocabulary. The book includes a useful lecture-planning template. It is likely to become the standard work on EMI.
