Abstract

Conceptualizing EMI-cum-acceleration policy in a transnational HE market as the regulation and institutionalization of language practices through a chronometrical approach to time for the sake of global economic competition and social mobility, this qualitative case study explores the experiences and enactments of such a policy by six engineering students at Manar University (a pseudonym) in Saudi Arabia. The data were gathered from analysis of policy documents, individual interviews, and a group interview. The findings reveal that the ways in which each student negotiates, resists, and desires such a policy suggest that an individual has some temporal resources and autonomy to make sense of “the acceleration experience” within the broader “structural forces of acceleration” (Vostal, 2016, p. 117) created at the university. It was also found that students are positioned in a double-bind-between the capitalist logic of accumulation and competition (speed), and the democratic value of equity in the EMI program.

当代跨国高等教育市场的EMI与加速政策

将跨国高等教育市场中的EMI和加速政策概念化为为了全球经济竞争和社会流动，通过对时间的计时方法对语言实践进行监管和制度化，这项定性案例研究探讨了沙特阿拉伯马纳尔大学（化名）六名工程系学生对这项政策的经验和实施情况。这些数据是从政策文件分析、个人访谈和集体访谈中收集的。研究结果表明，每个学生协商、抵制和渴望这种政策的方式表明，个人有一些时间资源和自主权，可以在更广泛的“加速的结构性力量”中理解“加速体验”（Vostal，2016，p。 117）。研究还发现，在EMI项目中，学生处于积累和竞争（速度）的资本主义逻辑与公平的民主价值之间的双重束缚中。
