Abstract

English-medium instruction has seen growth over the past 10 years in European non-English speaking countries. This phenomenon is nowadays taken for granted even though many issues are to be taken into account when a university course is delivered through English by non-native speakers. This is why some universities have started providing lecturer training all over Europe. This article seeks to give an overview of both linguistic and methodological EMI training in European countries.
