English has become the lingua franca of academia and a medium of instruction due to globalisation and internationalisation of universities around the world. As a result, the number of English taught courses offered in higher education (HE) has expanded which presents new challenges for the majority of tutors for whom English is not their native or first language. Moreover, such transition has revealed a lack of training and specialised support for non-native professionals. Therefore, Universidad de Chile would like to offer the course ‘English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI): Planning and teaching your subject in English’ to everyone who is interested in delivering their subject through instruction in English, based on the latest research in teaching and learning.

The main goals of this course are the following:

  • to provide a thorough introduction to the concept of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in higher education (HE) and its growing implementation and expansion at local and global settings;
  • to raise self-confidence and the competence required for using English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) through developing awareness of the diverse uses of English around the world;
  • to equip future EMI tutors with organisational and pedagogical strategies and methods that are necessary for effective usage of English in the global classroom;
  • to enable individuals to apply the acquired knowledge and skills to practical sessions guided by experienced tutors.
