This skills-oriented handbook for English Medium Instruction (EMI) learners provides students with a toolbox of strategies and approaches to maximise their performance in their courses.

EMI learners are students who are studying an academic subject, other than English itself, through the medium of English. Through a series of carefully designed exercises and awareness-raising tasks showcased in this book, students can develop the skills and strategies they need to optimise their academic performance in the face of considerable academic and language challenges. This accessible text is full of strategies for students to use the English language they already have in order to engage more fully in their academic courses. They will become much more efficient at preparing for, performing in, and reflecting on their classes. The book covers preparing for classes (pre-flight activities); performing in classes (in-flight strategies); and reflecting on classes (after landing).

Grounded in the research of EMI teaching and learning and in extensive teacher-training within EMI, this is a valuable resource for any EMI student studying in a university across the world, as well as EMI teachers, EAP/ESP educators, and academic support staff who work with EMI learners.

Ernesto Macaro is Emeritus Professor of Applied Linguistics at the University of Oxford. Before becoming a teacher educator and researcher in language learning he was a language teacher for 16 years. His research has focused on second language learning strategies and on the interaction between teachers and learners. He now applies these foci to classrooms where academic content is being taught through English. Mark Searle is an Honorary Norham Fellow, Associate of the EMI Research Group and previously was a Lecturer in ELT in the University of Oxford Department of Education. For many years he was a senior consultant teacher trainer for the British Council, designing and delivering teacher training courses in EAP and EMI in universities worldwide. This experience has given him considerable insight into the needs of EMI teachers and learners in many different contexts. He has also co-designed and co-delivered EMI teacher training courses with Ernesto Macaro both in the Department of Education and abroad.
