EMI Programmes

Arqus Plurilingual and Intercultural Hub

Many teachers working at Europe’s higher institutions of learning today are faced with new challenges as they begin to teach their core subjects in English. Successful classroom learning requires leadership and engagement that not only stimulates student participation but also facilitates comprehension. For these purposes, language teachers and academics engaged in EMI (English as Medium of Instruction) may wish to boost their own language skills and exchange ideas with international colleagues in the context of a virtual mobility.

Weekly Language Workshops for Teaching in English


In each 90-minute session, participants will have the opportunity to practice various language skills and gather new inspiration for their teaching curriculum.

Together we will look at elements of academic writing such as cohesive devices and discourse markers and will also address the challenges posed by vocabulary and grammar. Participants will have the opportunity to improve their overall fluency while practicing interactive communication skills.

Seminar series: Building the Arqus EMI Community of Practice


This seminar series, organised and facilitated by Maynooth University, invites researchers and practitioners across Arqus Alliance universities, who are already engaging or have just started the process of engagement with English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in their institutions. The series is seen as an interactive and supportive forum for practitioners and researchers to engage in regular dialogue to exchange experiences of EMI and become familiar with ongoing research in the field, with a view to improving practices and engagement with EMI across the Alliance.
