English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI): Using Technology to Enhance Benefits, Address Challenges, and to Increase Student Motivation and Learning

Inglés Presencial Plenaria Congreso Internacional de Lenguas

Many EMI professionals have expressed how challenging it can be to engage and motivate their students because of a variety of factors, including students’ low English proficiency or shyness to express themselves in English in class, lack of effective instructional and assessment materials, lack of support for instructors, and so on. In this presentation, I will discuss the use of technological tools to enhance the benefits of EMI, to address some of the challenges that EMI poses to both instructors and students, and to foster motivation and increase learning both inside and outside of the classroom, and to enhance overall academic effectiveness and achievement.
