Around the globe, varied instructional settings use English for teaching and learning purposes, despite the fact that it is not the first language of some or all participants. The Journal of English-Medium Instruction provides a home for research on this important and rapidly growing phenomenon. The journal adopts a broad understanding of what constitutes English-medium instruction (EMI), while differentiating it from other multilingual pedagogies. EMI is an inherently interdisciplinary field, spanning multiple branches of applied linguistics and (higher) education pedagogy and didactics. A key objective of JEMI is to unite these strands of EMI research and enable scholarly work in one corner of this interdisciplinary area to reach both researchers and practitioners in others. JEMI welcomes contributions on a range of topics of relevance to EMI, e.g., forms of instruction, translanguaging, language policy, assessment, support for instructors, the transition from content and language integrated learning to EMI, and the development of academic as well as disciplinary literacy.

Guidelines
Instructions for authors
The Journal of English-Medium Instruction publishes original research articles on topics related to EMI. Review the journal’s full scope statement here.
Authors wishing to submit articles are requested to do so through the journal’s online submission and manuscript tracking site. All other enquiries should be directed
towards the editors by e-mailing the editors at d.pecorarileeds.ac.uk and mahanschalmers.se.
Submitted manuscripts will undergo double-blind peer review. In order to maintain anonymity, all references to the author(s) should be excluded in the initial submission.
Manuscripts submitted for consideration to the journal should not be previously published or being considered for publication elsewhere.
All submissions should be written in English and prepared according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA) 7th edition, unless otherwise indicated here.
Length
Full-length articles should be no more than 8,000 words, including references, tables, figures and notes.
Abstract
Articles should include an abstract of 150-200 words.
Keywords
All submissions should include four to six keywords that can be used for indexing purposes.
Presentation
All submissions should be presented in Times New Roman, 12-point font. Please include page numbers in the manuscript.
Section Headings
Sections headings should be formatted according to APA style (7th ed.).
Spelling
Contributions can use any standard variety of English spelling and should be consistent throughout the paper.
Tables, Figures, and Other Graphics
In the initial submission, authors should place tables, figures, and other graphics within the paper in the desired location. However, authors should be prepared to submit original artwork files separately upon final accepted submission. All tables and
figures should be numbered consecutively and include a caption that is informative and concise. All tables and figures should be introduced in the text.
References
In-text references and reference list entries should conform to APA style (7th ed.).
Examples
Linguistic examples within the main text should be in italics, with bold type for further emphasis:
...antecedents for pronominal this and these tend to be extended units of discourse…
...noun phrases with more than one premodifying noun, such as justice department official…
the conversion of verbs to nouns (as in strong increaseor flowline)
Longer examples should be set apart from the main text with blank lines before and after, indented, and numbered. Examples should be referred to in the text by number (e.g., Example 1 shows that…). Italics, bold, and underlining can be used for further
emphasis if needed. Examples:
(1) Specifically, we were interested in investigating the quantitative difference in the use of
grammaticalstructures associated with registers over time.
(2) This may be explained by the presence of high fluctuations in the 1 min. data.
Acknowledgements
In order to maintain anonymity, acknowledgements, if any, should not be included in the initial submission. Authors of accepted papers may include a brief acknowledgements section in the final submission. This should be an unnumbered section immediately
following the conclusion.
Notes
Notes should be kept to a minimum. Where necessary, use endnotes rather than footnotes. These should be numbered consecutively throughout the paper and included as an unnumbered section following the conclusion (or acknowledgements) section.
Appendices
One or more appendix sections may be included after the references section.
