Abstract

The article responds to Wingate and Hakim’s paper, where they criticise English Medium Instruction (EMI) research for not drawing on research and practices from EAP. We concur that this cross-fertilisation of knowledge is beneficial for both fields but emphasise the breadth of the current EMI research agenda, which explores several issues beyond English language and academic preparedness. We also counter their claims of a lack of awareness by highlighting several examples of knowledge exchange, much of which has been driven by EMI scholars working within EAP contexts, and vice versa. Finally, we urge caution in recommendations to uncritically adopt EAP practices from Anglophone university settings into EMI settings, due to the complexities associated with EMI growth and provision, where the challenges raised are not necessarily identical. Overall, we agree with the authors that EAP and EMI have much to gain from each other in their shared endeavours and welcome their calls for future research collaboration.
EMI和 EAP的交叉受精,而不是分叉
这篇文章回应了Wingate和Hakim的论文,他们批评英语媒介教学(EMI)的研究没有借鉴EAP的研究和实践。我们同意这种知识的交叉融合对这两个领域都有利,但强调了当前EMI研究议程的广度,该议程探讨了英语和学术准备之外的几个问题。我们还通过强调几个知识交流的例子来反驳他们关于缺乏意识的说法,其中大部分是由在EAP背景下工作的EMI学者推动的,反之亦然。最后,我们敦促在建议中谨慎行事,不加批判地将英语大学的EAP实践纳入EMI环境,因为EMI的增长和提供具有复杂性,在这些环境中提出的挑战不一定相同。总的来说,我们同意作者的观点,即EAP和EMI在共同努力中可以从彼此身上获得很多好处,并欢迎他们对未来研究合作的呼吁。
