Much of the literature about language-in-education in such countries has focused on the instrumentalist value of English, on one side, and the rights of learners to high quality mother tongue-based education, on the other. The polarised nature of the debate has tended to leave issues related to the processes of learning in English as a Medium Instruction (EMI) classrooms under-researched. This book aims to provide a greater understanding of the existing challenges for learners and educators and potential strategies that can support more effective teaching and learning in EMI classrooms. Contributions illustrate the impact that learning in English has on learners in a range of regional, national and local contexts and put forward theoretical and empirical analyses to support more relevant and inclusive educational policies. This volume was originally published as a special issue of Comparative Education."--Publisher's website. 650 0 $a English language $x Social aspects $z Commonwealth countries. 650 0 $a Language and languages $x Social aspects $x Social aspects $z Commonwealth countries. 650 0 $a Language policy $z Commonwealth countries. 650 0 $a Postcolonialism $z Commonwealth countries. 650 7 $a English language $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911649 650 7 $a Language and languages $x Social aspects. $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992248 650 7 $a Language policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992402 650 7 $a Postcolonialism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01073032 651 7 $a Commonwealth countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240090 700 1 $a Milligan, Lizzi O., $e editor. 700 1 $a Tikly, Leon, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217014735.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=23E5E3C42E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
