ABSTRACT

This chapter concludes the book by discussing the implications and applications for the professional development of science, and other content-subject teachers and recommends strategies for teaching science in different EMI contexts. It presents examples of the EMI lessons with annotated notes to showcase good practices of EMI teaching. This chapter highlights the importance of obtaining data from multiple sources when trying to understand the nature of interaction patterns in EMI science classrooms. It thus guides future researchers to conduct more detailed analyses of interactions in order to aid EMI teachers in integrating science and language teaching. The chapter further proposes suggestions for EMI policy and future research directions as it indicates the book’s contextual, theoretical, methodological and pedagogical contributions to the field of study.
