Abstract

This introductory chapter makes the case for the research focus on translanguaging in English medium instruction (EMI) in Asia’s higher education. This chapter first describes the features of EMI programs, and how the phenomenon of English as a lingua franca (ELF) has introduced new directions and insights in English education. This is followed by an overview of the opportunities and key challenges of EMI at the policy and implementation levels. Then, related concepts and the use of translanguaging as a glocalized strategy in Asia’s ELF contexts are discussed. Finally, an overview of the chapters by researchers contributing to this volume is provided.
