Teacher Training for English-Medium Instruction in Higher Education, by Maria del Mar Sánchez-Pérez (Hershey PA: IGI Global, 2020)

Lafuente Millán, Enrique (Universidad de Zaragoza)

Resumen: In the last decade there has been a sharp increase in the number of English-Medium Instruction (EMI) courses and programs in higher education (HE) institutions worldwide. A number of reasons for this exponential growth have been reported, notably improving the foreign language proficiency of students,
attracting international students, lecturers and researchers, increasing research output or improving the international profile of universities. As a consequence of its rising prominence, EMI has generated a great deal of interest in the literature. This research suggests that insufficient attention has been
paid to training teaching staff for EMI (O’Dowd 2018) and stresses the need for a new model of teaching and learning that can support the acquisition of 21st century new skills and competences (Coyle 2013; Dafouz and Smit 2016). The diversity of contexts and the existing lack of data constitute an additional difficulty
in this search for new pedagogical guidelines in EMI.
