Description
In the rapidly evolving landscape of English Medium Instruction (EMI), the need for comprehensive research methodologies has never been more pronounced. This pioneering guide offers an in-depth exploration into quantitative research methods tailored specifically for EMI. Going beyond the surface, the volume bridges the cultural divides of East and West, ensuring that insights are inclusive of diverse educational levels, settings, and backgrounds. Whether you're an academic researcher, a policy-maker, or an educator in the field, this book serves as an invaluable resource. Not only does it fill a notable gap in the literature, it also presents readers with practical, adaptable research strategies that can be employed globally, and is illustrated with a range of case studies that bring the methods to life. Understand the nuances of EMI across different contexts, and equip yourself with the tools needed to contribute meaningfully to the discourse on global EMI practices, challenges, and solutions.
Unlock advanced EMI research with unique quantitative methods. Dive deep, fill gaps, and elevate your studies in the EMI realm.

Reviews
'All those interested in carrying out quantitative research in EMI settings should pay careful attention to this book, as it will turn out to be most inspiring and practical. Why? Because the contributors have successfully managed to lay the ground for cogent research designs by neatly putting forth how different types of quantitative research tools can be effectively implemented and how potential challenges can be overcome.' David Lasagabaster, Full Professor of Applied Linguistics, University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU
'This book is a seminal work in the field of English Medium Instruction. With each chapter offering a unique perspective on a different quantitative approach, the book serves as an invaluable guide for those engaged in EMI research and beyond.' Angel M. Y. Lin, Chair Professor, Education University of Hong Kong
'This volume is a welcome addition to the expanding body of EMI research. The methodological toolkit offered by the contributing authors plugs a valuable need to measure the effectiveness of EMI interventions across multiple educational settings. EMI practitioners, researchers, and policymakers will benefit immensely from the book's insights.' Peter De Costa, Professor of Applied Linguistics and Teacher Education, Michigan State University
