Bücher von John Corbett

This is a thoroughly revised, updated and expanded edition of a practical introduction to intercultural education for teachers of English as a second language. This new edition addresses developments in the field since the publication of the 1st edition, including the impact of online resources for English language education.

This book provides a wealth of insights into the use of technology to deliver university courses with English as the medium of instruction (EMI). It presents practical case studies from a number of Chinese HE institutions that offer degree programmes in English. The cases illustrate the benefits to be gained from collaborative action research among English language educators and subject specialists in the Sciences, Social Sciences, Humanities, Business and Management. The chapters address students¿ and instructors¿ engagements with established technologies, such as the Moodle learning management system, and with more recent innovations, such as mobile learning, social media use in the classroom, and game-based learning. Topics range from curriculum design that attends to the use of technology in the delivery of courses through EMI, and the benefits of technology in supporting pedagogical innovations such as online peer assessment, to the use of specific apps to enhance students¿ comprehension of course materials. The book will be of vital interest to curriculum planners and designers, as well as to instructors in higher education who are engaged in delivering courses using English as a medium of instruction.
