The prevalence of English-medium instruction (EMI) in non-native Englishspeaking (NNES) universities by no means guarantees effective teaching. Since little is understood about NNES university instructors’ classroom instruction, it is pedagogically significant to examine how they support student learning. Using a qualitative case study, this paper explores four Taiwanese content teachers’ classroom practices to explore effective guidance for students’ learning of content via English. These instructors were perceived as competent by their colleagues and students. Their interview and observation data were collected and triangulated by student interview data. The findings identified the use of engaging, bridging, and amplifying at a multi-layered level to achieve content, cognitive, and cultural objectives. The limited attention to language objectives and use underscore the primacy of the collaboration between content and language teachers in facilitating NNES content teachers’ professional development. In this respect, approaches to effective EMI by language and content teachers as well as directions for future research are specified in the conclusion. |
