EMI Symposium 2025

The English Medium Instruction (EMI) Symposium is a symposium held every other year at the University of Oxford, Department of Education for students, researchers, and practitioners to convene and discuss the latest trends, experiences and findings in research on the teaching of academic subjects through English.

The symposium invites keynote speakers to share their work on EMI, offering a global perspective with experts from different countries presenting on the realities of EMI in their local context. Institutions across the world are using English to teach academic subjects in a desire to internationalise. The symposium will present a global view of EMI with experts from different countries sharing their perspectives.

​This will mark our 6th biennial symposium, having been held previously in 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2023.
