Abstract

This paper explores the challenges associated with implementing English-medium instruction (EMI) in multilingual educational environments. EMI has gained prominence as a strategy to enhance global competitiveness and academic performance. However, its implementation in multilingual settings presents a range of challenges, including linguistic inequalities, cultural integration issues, and pedagogical concerns. This study analyzes these challenges through a review of existing literature, case studies, and interviews with educators and students to offer insights and recommendations for more effective EMI practices.
