THE USE OF ENGLISH AS A MEDIUM INSTRUCTION IN EFL CLASSROOM

Yanti Anggraini

Abstract


English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in EFL classrooms, a pivotal pedagogical approach, is explored. This article delves into EMI's background, benefits, challenges, and strategies. EMI, employing English for teaching subjects beyond language, responds to global language demands. Benefits encompass heightened language skills, global readiness, and direct access to academic resources. Challenges include linguistic hurdles and teacher proficiency. Addressing these, strategies like scaffolding and professional development are crucial. As the world becomes more interconnected, EMI equips students for cross-cultural communication. However, maintaining native languages and identities must be balanced.

Keywords
