An idiodynamic investigation of student listening experiences in an English medium instruction political science lecture
Listening to and learning from a university lecture can be an arduous task, particularly when the lecture is given in a second/additional language, which is often the case in English medium instruction (EMI) contexts. Further, listening research has been limited by methodological constraints and has offered few real-time insights into the lecture listening experience. This paper introduces an innovative idiodynamic method for monitoring lecture c…
Bottom-up listening challenges in EMI lectures and a glimpse at the short-term residual problems they can cause
The lecture is a staple of university education worldwide. In order to glean disciplinary-specific information from the lecturer, students need to accurately process the speech stream. However, doing so in a second language, as often happens during English medium instruction (EMI) can be an arduous task. One often overlooked but fundamental listening issue is related to bottom-up processing, or decoding, of incoming speech (Field, 2008; Rost, 202…
Frequency and framing keywords in EMI
Focuses on keyword use in English medium instruction (EMI) lectures. • Compares keyword use between social science and STEM lectures. • Identifies patterns of keyword appearance. • Emphasizes the need for careful word choice and other teaching strategies in EMI. English medium instruction (EMI) courses can present challenges for both lecturers and students. The lecturer’s planning and delivery of lecture content, especially in terms of spoken out…
English medium instruction lecturer within-course linguistic evolution
Research in English Medium Instruction (EMI) has often focused on broad policy levels or disciplinary content rather than teachers’ linguistic behavior in EMI classrooms. In order to explore linguistic behaviors in one Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subject, this study investigated changes in linguistic behavior over a series of three lectures in an EMI robotics course. To monitor speech and articulation rates, five evenly-…
Monitoring Listening Comprehension in Real Time
Developing strong listening skills in a second language (L2) can be challenging for a variety of reasons. Within the context of L2 use in higher education, accurate and timely processing of aural input can be crucial for academic success, particularly because vast amounts of disciplinary‐specific content are delivered via academic lectures in the students' and/or teacher's L2. This brief report introduces and shares early observations from the Re…
On the need for cross-contextual EMI research
The growth of and attention given to English-medium instruction (EMI) and related topics in contemporary higher education research was well-represented at the AILA 2024 World Congress in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Research reports and symposia from around the globe attest to the fact that EMI remains a consistent area of interest and that many questions and research agendas are being engaged in a number of ways and at a range of levels. This paper t…
A cross-cultural investigation of L2 notetaking
The importance of notetaking for English for academic purposes (EAP) students and teachers is growing due to a rapid increase in the number of universities offering English as a medium of instruction (EMI) courses around the world (e.g. [Teng, H. C. 2011. “Exploring Note-taking Strategies of EFL Listenerst.” Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 15: 480–484.]). While there have been several studies on second language (L2) notetaking that focu…
Research into practice
This paper reviews and discusses research on notetaking during academic listening conducted in both first (L1) and second language (L2) contexts and is organized into two main categories: research that is beginning to impact English for academic purposes (EAP) classrooms and that which has yet to make an impact on EAP, but should. Overall, I assert that, while some relevant research on notetaking is reaching EAP classrooms, there is an abundance …
Comparing Teacher Priorities and Student Uptake in EMI Lectures
English medium instruction (EMI) has been increasing in higher education with broad intentions of stimulating internationalization and cross-cultural learning experiences. This form of education presents opportunities and challenges for teachers and students alike. Key challenges involve various levels of second language (L2) speaking and listening abilities among teachers and students operating in EMI contexts. This exploratory study therefore e…
Evaluating EAP notetaking textbooks
The importance and presence of notetaking in L2 educational contexts has gradually increased to a point where many now recognize notetaking as an essential academic skill for EAP preparatory and EMI courses worldwide. In order to meet the increasing demand for notetaking, materials writers and commercial publishers have designed and produced a number of notetaking textbooks. Despite their availability on the market and frequent use in EAP and oth…
