and a growing field of research.
English as a medium of instruction (EMI) is defined as the use of English to teach academic subjects in countries
where the majority of people do not speak English as their first language or mother tongue. The major key driving EMI in
Thailand is due to global competitiveness and the need to meet world challenges. Therefore, the educational response was
to react to external pressures and attempt to find the best institutional structure for its needs. Indeed, the Thai government
effort has made English as the major second language and encouraged more EMI programs in higher education institutions.

OBJECTIVES OF EMI
