By providing an evidence-based, pedagogically-focused analysis of teacher and student classroom practices and their perceptions, this book sheds light on ways to improve the quality of instructional practices and effective scaffolding in different types of EMI classrooms in Hong Kong and in similar contexts around the world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe examples of the EMI lessons with annotated notes which showcase good practices of EMI teaching will be particularly valuable to university EMI co-ordinators, content-subject and English teachers, and instructors doing EMI professional development courses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJack Pun\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor at Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWenyun Jia\u003c\/b\u003e is a PhD student at City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 July 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350344822\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e272\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51944701231244,"sku":"9781350344822","price":35.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_f242fc60-9a52-4495-9114-86e6fb26d978.jpg?v=1786036192","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781350344822","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
