Abstract:

This book discusses the perceptions of staff and students with regards to the
policy and practice of English as the medium of instruction (EMI) in Pakistani
universities. Findings from qualitative and quantitative data collected in two
public universities are compared to identify perceptions of problems
concerning English as a medium of instruction for postgraduate study. The
research also examines participants’ attitudes towards the use of Pakistani
English (PakE), a distinct variety of English different from other dialects
such as American English and British English in its various linguistic
features, in higher education settings. The findings explore the gap between
the policy and practice of EMI, and expose various multi-layered and
inevitable issues.
