Abstract

The Multilingual Education Yearbook 2023: Teaching with Technology in English-Medium Instruction Universities in Multilingual China seeks to explore the relationship between technology and English-Medium Instruction (EMI) within a contextually specific multilingual and multicultural framework of Chinese higher education. This exploration is especially relevant as the use of English as the medium of instruction (MOI) in multilingual contexts complicates understanding how MOI policies align with broader geopolitical and socio-political agendas (Liyanage & Walker, 2019, p. 1). Macaro et al. (2018, p.64) observe that the growth of EMI in higher education is a global phenomenon, though it faces challenges and even declines in certain regions, reflecting the diverse global landscape of educational policies. Using examples from different disciplines and abstract arguments, the book shows how digital tools can support EMI teaching and learning. The chapters highlight a possible increase in effectiveness within collaborative action research among English teachers and content specialist teachers. This makes it valuable to dive in deeper into the difficulties and innovations associated with technology that is used for improving language learning, as well as academic performance or educational advancement. Learning about these challenges and triumphs helps educators from all lanes more effectively incorporate technology tools in their classrooms for better learning outcomes.
