Despite Mexico’s implementation of a bilingual model in its tertiary education programmes, this book is the first contribution to knowledge regarding EMI in Mexico.
The author introduces readers to the Mexican higher education context before providing detailed information regarding the technological and polytechnic subsystem, where EMI has been implemented since 2012. The volume details a pilot and case study conducted in Mexican universities as well as the research findings and conclusions. It closes with recommendations, as well as suggestions for further research. The book explores the implications for the continuous professional development and training for lecturers in the current shift to EMI in Bilingual, International, and Sustainable (BIS) universities.
This volume will be of particular interest to researchers in EMI and bilingualism.
Myrna Escalona Sibaja is a Teacher Trainer at Grupo Educare and has been an EMI coach and teacher in a variety of institutions such as Instituto Santiago and Instituto Universitario de Tecnología y Cultura (IUTC), in Mexico.
