Abstract
Teaching science through English is a growing phenomenon around the world. In this presentation, I will discuss the latest research into EMI instructions around the globe and the challenges that teachers and students face when learning science through English in many cultural contexts. In particular, i will report a study in Hong Kong which explores the teaching and learning process in EMI science classrooms. Drawing on the multiple sources of data from semi-structured interviews, questionnaires and video-recorded classroom observations of science teachers and students, the analysis explores the patterns of classroom interactions in local secondary schools. The teachers and students' perceptions of EMI teaching and learning process including their views on EMI, choices of classroom language, the language challenges, coping strategies will also be investigated. By providing an evidence-based, detailed analysis of classroom interactions, this study will hopefully shed light on ways for improving instructional practices in different EMI classrooms worldwide.
