EMI at the Yang Ming campus

We don’t teach English, we teach in English
We kill two birds (content and language) with one stone if EMI works well.

The major EMI challenge at the YM campus

Teacher lack a consensus on the necessity of teaching in English
Most of them think they have insufficient English proficiency and cannot teach in English fluently, so they have low motivation and lack self-confidence

My personal experience at USF

Make your speaking easy to understand and follow
Make sure that students understand essential information
Code-switching should be allowed as a teaching strategy in EMI classrooms when necessary
Help students (less proficient in English) cope with EMI content by facilitating learning in Chinese and guiding them to repackage content

Some closing thoughts

Learning to teach content in English is challenging but worthwhile
Make it easier by

Avoiding reinventing the wheel – many resources are already available
Trying one thing at a time – perhaps start with the most comfortable thing to change
Watching and getting feedback from instructors who are experienced with EMI learning
Being transparent with students

I’m not telling you it’s going to be easy, I’m telling you it’s going to be worth it.
