    In today’s episode, we look at the concept of English as a medium of instruction (EMI) in universities, using personal stories and examples from France, Spain, Italy and Germany, showing that it can open doors but also comes with its own challenges and inequalities. We then touch on how using English affects students’ confidence and involvement in the classroom and their identity.
