Despite the fact that the teachers that utilize EMI in their lectures lack basic
English language and pedagogical competence, they have tried to use a variety of
strategies and resources to make their classes more effective. Previous research found
that some professors used translanguaging pedagogy to help students acquire core
or multilingual education and natural language practice in which learners' existing total
communication competence. Previous research has also revealed that effective English
language learner (ELL) training should incorporate heritage languages (August &
Shanahan, 2010). In a similar line, Phyak (2017) discovered in the Nepalese context
that "most English classes in his study schools are teacher and textbook-centered" (p.

Despite some studies (August & Shanahan, 2010; Hamid et al., 2013;
Phyak, 2017) that investigated EMI policies in various educational contexts, there is
hardly any study that has explored both students' and teachers' perceptions of EMI in

in its top-tier colleges as part of its ambitious growth agenda. Although English had
been firmly established as a core curricular topic in China from junior secondary school
through higher education by the end of the twentieth century, there was rising discontent

and some teachers regard EMI as both a challenge and a key to their pupils' success.
Erliana (2018) further demonstrated that the use of English as a foreign language (EFL)
in Indonesia has no effect on EMI inside ELT. Despite the low frequency of use,
teachers have a good attitude toward their own English and recognize the value of
conducting teaching and learning processes in English. The EMI is not implemented
Sela and Luke (2020) also argued that adopting EMI is critical for sustaining
communication in the modern era. Although the implementation of EMI is not always
smooth due to some drawbacks that cannot be avoided by the lecturer, learners and
educators must raise awareness of its use as well as make adjustments in fully
EMI implementation with the use of technology in the teaching and learning process. It
