However, the decision-making process for implementing EMI programs often lacks sufficient consideration for the complex educational issues associated with language policy changes. This book aims to shed light on the diverse implementation of EMI at universities in Turkey through a comprehensive multilevel empirical investigation. It provides a sociohistorical overview of EMI in Turkey, drawing on a dataset that encompasses policy documents, classroom observations, interviews with teachers, and focus group discussions with students.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite national policies that advocate for a one-language-at-a-time model of EMI education, this book argues that EMI is neither exclusively English-only nor English-always in practice. By highlighting the variation in EMI implementation across Turkish universities, this study illustrates the need for more comprehensive EMI policies and processes that foster the integration of content and language learning in higher education.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe implications of this study are discussed in the context of policy planning, program development, and pedagogical support. It will be of interest to researchers and postgraduate research students who are passionate about EMI, particularly in the Turkish context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 216 x 138 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032065311\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kari Sahan","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":45282285027578,"sku":"9781032065311","price":52.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1709318025207_book.jpg?v=1709552092","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/englishmedium-instruction-in-turkish-universities-policies-practices-and-perceptions-9781032065311","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
