Against the backdrop of the growing prevalence of English-medium higher education worldwide, this book brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse geopolitical backgrounds, each pursuing distinct research objectives. Despite their disparate origins and approaches, these scholars converge in their utilization of the ROAD-MAPPING conceptual framework. This framework, comprising six interconnected dimensions, serves as a guiding framework for the nine studies included in this volume. These studies explore critical topics related to English-Medium Education in Multilingual University Settings (EMEMUS) from diverse perspectives. They range from multi-sited, meta-level analyses that critically examine different countries' realizations of EMEMUS to employing ROAD-MAPPING as a methodological tool to examine all its dimensions or focus specifically on a particular aspect. By employing this comprehensive framework, the contributions showcased in this volume underscore the remarkable strength of ROAD-MAPPING in investigating and comprehending the intricate nature of EMEMUS.

This volume makes a substantial contribution to the advancement of EMEMUS research, making it an invaluable resource for scholars, policymakers, and students engaged in one of the most rapidly expanding and contentious fields in applied linguistics today.
