         <description><![CDATA[<div>28676572<br>The Importance of teaching EMI in South Africa<br>- The aim of the situation analysis was to determine whether there was a need for a specialised training course for English second language medium of instruction teachers. <br>- To put it simply, EMI is the use of English to teach academic subjects in countries or areas where English is not the first language of most of the population. When favoring EMI, two frequent assumptions are that the students’ proficiency in English will improve as a result of EMI and that the transition to normalizing it might be unproblematic.<br>-  The scope of EMI is enormous. There fore the decision-making agents, the students, the academic staff and the administrative staff of every single department should be aware that new insights will be imperative. The reasons why universities are willing to face EMI are numerous and complex: to attract international students, to be better positioned in the university rankings, to increase revenue, to give our students the possibility to study abroad, to further student and staff career possibilities, to modernize universities or even to follow global trends of how universities are supposed to become more international (“everybody is doing EMI now, so we should too”). </div><div> <figure class="attachment attachment--preview"><img src="http://www.cde.org.za/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/value-classroom.png" width="385" height="216"><figcaption class="attachment__caption"></figcaption></figure></div>]]></description>
