This initial phase of growth in EMI has had an impact on LSP (Language for Specific Purposes) courses, which have in some cases suffered a consequent decline. This article seeks to highlight the potential of LSP to prepare students in EMI communication, support academic disciplinary skills, develop transversal skills, and foster intercultural communication. The study analyses an LSP-focused curricular design that aims to help students develop English-language communicative effectiveness for a domain-specific context: social and human services. The various integrative practices inherent in LSP instruction call attention to its potential as a harmonizing and empowering force for content- and language-integrated learning when used alongside EMI. \u0000Keywords: English-Medium Instruction (EMI); Language for Specific Purposes (LSP); English for Specific Purposes (ESP); Content-and-language integrated learning (CLIL); Integrating content and language in higher education (ICLHE).","PeriodicalId":34505,"journal":{"name":"CLIL Journal of Innovation and Research in Plurilingual and Pluricultural Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72870055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, lecturers can take up different identities because their language-choice acts depend on their communicative and identification purposes. Employing Membership-Categorisation Analysis (MCA) to examine classroom interaction, this paper examines the classroom practices of one EMI lecturer to explore how the orientation towards one language over the others implies a specific function associated with a particular identity. The alternation between languages reveals to what extent EMI lecturers accept or challenge the English-only policy and how lecturers position themselves as English-only or as translanguaging lecturers. This study documents lecturer’s teaching behaviour, particularly how L1-choice acts can be more effective for certain purposes. Studying how lecturers draw from both their EMI-lecturer identity and their L1-lecturer identity, this paper shows how multilingual practices unfold in EMI and highlights the pedagogical value of the L1, hence advocating that the use of languages other than English has, after all, a particular purpose.","PeriodicalId":34505,"journal":{"name":"CLIL Journal of Innovation and Research in Plurilingual and Pluricultural Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81103648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"The A-B-C of content teaching in an EMI classroom","authors":"Monica Clua Serrano, Javier Jiménez","doi":"10.5565/rev/clil.95","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5565/rev/clil.95","url":null,"abstract":"CLIL Content and Language Integrated Learning, as we know, is an umbrella dual-focused pedagogical approach (e.g., Dalton-Puffer, 2011) that is more commonly associated within contexts of primary and secondary education. Pedagogical strategies and materials are designed to, on the one hand, progressively work towards higher-order thinking and production abilities in areas of content learning in a foreign language, often English, while simultaneously attending to the students’ need to develop the relevant linguistic competencies in the target language. To achieve these, and related goals, materials and teaching strategies centre on the principles of integration (Nikula et al., 2016) and high-quality classroom interaction (Walsh, 2006). But what of the EMI context? Specifically, how is content and language integration achieved (or at least, aimed at) in tertiary education? To allay concerns to some degree, language, in any context, packages knowledge, and knowledge is packaged in language. In other words, language and knowledge co-constitute each other (Airey & Linder, 2009; Lemke, 1990). So, although EMI as such does not hold to explicit language-related goals, studies have shown that teachers do hold themselves and students accountable for the correct use of conventionalised disciplinary language in the field (Clua Serrano 2021; Clua1 & Evnitskaya, forthcoming, Escobar Urmeneta, 2017; Mancho-Barés, G., & AguilarPérez, M., 2020) as well as deal with language aspects, often beyond the purely technical range (e.g., Andjelkov, 2022). However, a significant proportion of faculty rejects certain socio-constructivist-based CLIL methodologies that are often used in compulsory-level education (e.g., Kletzenbauer et al., 2022, this issue), believing these approaches should be reserved for university students with low English language proficiency (Aguilar, 2017; Airey, 2016). This not only speaks of the additional investment required of teachers in the EMI enterprise (Doiz et al. 2011), but also of the reported identities at play in teachers as content, and not language, experts (Macaro, 2018; Mancho-Barés, G., & Aguilar-Pérez, M., 2020). All in all, research continues to explore teacher (and student) practices in, and beliefs about, EMI to find ways to optimise teaching and learning in this context. The interview presented here serves to get a glimpse into pedagogical praxis and identity through the experience of one EMI teacher. Javier Jimenez Jimenez is a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Basic Science at the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC Barcelona). He is an experienced lecturer, and through this interview, he reflects on his experience as an EMI teacher of Immunology and Microbiology between the years 2016-2019. He taught this subject in English in the English-track Dentistry programme, and in Spanish in the Spanish-track programme, back-toback. https://doi.org/10.5565/rev/clil.95 eISSN: 2604-5613 Print ISSN: 2605-5893","PeriodicalId":34505,"journal":{"name":"CLIL Journal of Innovation and Research in Plurilingual and Pluricultural Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76717500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We outline the roles which language teachers at the institution and external collaborators (teacher educators and language specialists) play in creating a space of trust for the professional development of content specialists.\u0000Recent research (e.g. Zappa-Hollman, 2018) has called for such collaborative partnerships between language and content specialists to raise awareness among English Medium Instruction (EMI) practitioners and stakeholders that language is “the crucial semiotic resource to [...] facilitate conceptualization and problem solving in specific disciplines” (Yuan, 2021, p. 2). This demand for an integrative approach which takes the interplay of language and content into consideration has not yet received sufficient attention, neither at the institutional level nor at the level of individual teachers (Zappa-Hollman, 2018). Innovative approaches are clearly needed to improve the quality of ICLHE teaching (Kim et al., 2018).\u0000The generally positive reactions of the content teachers to the Trust Model of Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration suggest that it can contribute to improving their understanding of the epistemic function of language and their Integrating Content and language in Higher Education (ICLHE) teaching practice.","PeriodicalId":34505,"journal":{"name":"CLIL Journal of Innovation and Research in Plurilingual and Pluricultural Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83704025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
