Abstract:

ELINET (The Education, Language and Internationalisation network) is a cutting-edge online global network of researchers, practitioners, students, policymakers, materials writers and curriculum developers exploring Education, Language and Internationalisation. It aims to encourage networking and information exchange between students, researchers and practitioners, as well as form research partnerships in the growing fields of Global Englishes and English Medium Instruction (EMI) and related fields in the wider areas of education, language and internationalisation. In this presentation, we present the network, which includes regularly upload teaching resources, webinars, blog/podcast/video interviews with teachers and researchers, video abstracts of key research papers, dissertations/theses, funding calls, conferences and events links and reading lists relevant. The presentation will also showcase our network projects and how we aim to facilitate increased impact of the work being conducted by our network members. This includes several projects focused on teacher training to respond to the growing global phenomenon of English Medium Instruction (EMI) in higher education around the globe. The network hosts a recently developed Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) for the Indonesian context.
