Abstract:

This book offers new insights into the language gains of adult learners
enrolled in an English-medium instruction (EMI) degree programme. It provides
longitudinal empirical evidence of the phonological gains of the learners;
discusses which individual factors contribute to the changes in the learners’
pronunciation and investigates whether and to what extent increased exposure
to the target language in EMI classrooms leads to incidental learning of
second language pronunciation. Furthermore, it expands on the discussions
surrounding the Critical Period Hypothesis, the native-speaker norm, foreign
language accent and the role of English as a Lingua Franca. The comparative
and longitudinal design of the research study fills a significant gap in the
literature and the book offers considerable original and important
research-informed insights into the fields of EMI, bilingual education and
second language acquisition. As such, it is a valuable resource and must-read
book for researchers, practitioners and policymakers in these areas.
