Understanding Our Terminology
Not sure what something means? Here is a quick guide to some of the key education acronyms and terms we use.
-
English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) refers to teaching academic subjects in English to students who have English as an additional language. For example, a Brazilian lecturer in São Paulo chooses to teach their Engineering course in English to bilingual students.
-
Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is an approach that combines subject learning and language development at the same time. For example, a Japanese CLIL teacher in Tokyo delivers a math class using both English and Japanese, integrating key vocabulary and skills to help students learn in English.
-
Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) refers to teaching English as a subject to learners who use another language at home or in their communities. For example, a TESOL educator in Taiwan teaches English language and communication skills to school students.
-
Bilingual Education refers to teaching and learning that uses two or more languages across the curriculum—in our work, this includes English. For example, a bilingual school teacher in Chile chooses to use a combination of Spanish and English in class.
