Phát triển năng lực giảng dạy môn chuyên ngành bằng Tiếng Anh ở trường đại học: thử thách và định hướng phát triển
Tóm tắt
The development of English-medium instruction (EMI) teaching competence for university lecturers in Vietnam and worldwide has increasingly attracted the attention of educators. This study aims to investigate the challenges faced by lecturers when teaching specialized subjects in English and to examine the core components of training programs designed to enhance EMI teaching competence, with a view to providing concrete recommendations. To conduct the study, a mixed-methods approach was employed. Specifically, relevant articles published in reputable domestic and international journals, as well as nine EMI training programs, were systematically analyzed. In addition, a survey was administered to 150 university lecturers and 20 students purposively selected in Vietnam, followed by in-depth interviews. The findings indicate that lecturers face various challenges related to language proficiency, EMI-specific pedagogical skills, and classroom communication. An analysis of existing training programs reveals several shortcomings, suggesting that current offerings do not fully meet the necessary competency requirements. The results highlight key implications for the development of a structured and contextually appropriate EMI teaching competence program in Vietnam.
