Description:
With the internationalization of higher education, English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) has become one of the most significant global educational trends in the 21st century (Aizawa et al., 2023). Medium of instruction refers to the language used when teaching non-language academic/content subjects such as science (Lo & Lo, 2014). The aims of EMI include developing students English professional expertise, expanding their knowledge of different academic disciplines, and preparing them to participate in the international community. EMI is used in many countries, including Taiwan, as an internationalization strategy in higher education (HE). In 2018, Taiwans National Development Council proposed a blueprint for developing Taiwan into a bilingual nation by 2030, with related policies promoting the widespread use of English in HE. In 2021, Taiwans Ministry of Education announced a new program on bilingual education for students to promote EMI courses in HE. However, in addition to English language proficiency, internationalization is essential to nursing education. Thus, it is also necessary to actively strengthen the international outlook and global village citizenship of Taiwans nursing students. In both university and vocational nursing education, English education focuses mostly on English for Specific Purpose (ESP)-oriented English courses designed to help learners do well in their academic and professional preparations for their future careers (Saragih, 2014), while English for Academic Purposes (LAP) focuses on enabling learners to use English in their study and research activities (Flowerdew & Peacock, 2001; Hyland & Hamp-Lyons, 2002). LAP is concerned with using English in academic domains (Walkinshaw et al., 2017). In contrast to ESP and LAP, EMI, although also using English as a teaching tool and conveying academic knowledge in English, does not include improving English proficiency and abilities as a primary goal (Dearden & Macaro, 2016). The current global explosion of EMI in higher education is unprecedented (Aizawa et al., 2023), leading to EMI being described as an ' unstoppable train from which EMI educators must safely ensure their students alight at their destination (Macaro, 2018). To reduce the challenges students face on their EMI journeys, educators must first understand the common challenges experienced by students. In this EMI educational scenario, educators experience how the change in the language of instruction impacts their teaching and their students' learning effect. From a pedagogical perspective, studies have confirmed that, in addition to teacher training support (Lauridsen, 2017; Sánchez-Pérez, 2020), HE should focus on providing more solid and diverse training courses that teach strategies for pronunciation and discourse, accommodate diversity in the classroom, and teach multicultural competencies (Orduna-Nocito & Sánchez-Garcia, 2022). Therefore, for this column, we have invited authors with backgrounds in different disciplines to share their ESP and EMI teaching experiences, suggest the next steps beyond EMI, and offer insights into how to apply multimodal design in nursing education. After reading this column, we hope readers will be able to employ different levels of thinking to help the development of nursing education in Taiwan keep pace with the times and internationalization trends, prepare for EMI training, successfully face the challenges of EMI, and take EMI beyond the first step.
