Synopsis

The book is the outcome of an initiative by professors teaching in English, focusing on the implications of transitioning from a native language teaching system to a non-native language educational experience. It addresses higher education stakeholders, particularly university presidents, administrators, and professors involved in or interested in English Medium Instruction (EMI) programs. The book is divided into three sections: Institutional approaches towards curricular internationalization, EMI, and Teaching strategies and conditions. The authors draw from experiences in Mexican institutions like the University of Colima, University of Puebla, and the University of the Caribbean, as well as contributions from non-Mexican professors.

La portada tiene un fondo verde esmeralda con textura de pinceladas. En él destacan varias siluetas humanas en color negro, que simulan un entorno educativo:  En la parte superior derecha, hay una silueta de una mujer de pie, vestida formalmente, apuntando con una mano extendida hacia el título. Representa a una docente en acción.  A la izquierda, se encuentra la figura de un hombre inclinado ligeramente hacia adelante, con una mano al frente, como si estuviera hablando o entregando algo.  En la parte inferior, hay tres figuras sentadas frente a escritorios, dos de ellas frente a laptops. Simbolizan a estudiantes universitarios en clase.  Las siluetas están dispuestas como si formaran una escena de aula, lo que refuerza el contenido educativo del libro.
