Abstract

Abstract This article is an attempt to present the benefits and challenges of English medium instruction (EMI) and its implementation in Armenian higher education institutions. Through statistically reliable and significant findings of the surveys conducted within the framework of Erasmus + SMARTI Project a qualitative and quantitative analysis has been carried out to identify the gaps existing in the mode of delivery and methodology of EMI and offer ways of bridging that gap. The article highlights the perceived benefits of EMI that include, but are not limited to, boosting internationalisation and quality assurance in Armenian higher education institutions through revising institutional policies, mechanisms and tools in line with Tuning Methodology from a student-centred and labour-market-demand perspective on both national and international levels. To attain these ambitious goals, the article offers step-by-step solutions to a plethora of obstacles and issues that Armenian higher education institutions currently encounter.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
