explain the difference between a content teacher and an EMI content teacher;

1 answer

A content teacher is a teacher who teaches a particular subject like science, maths, social studies, etc. They are responsible for delivering the subject material to the students and ensuring that they understand the concepts in the subject.

An EMI content teacher, on the other hand, is a teacher who teaches a particular subject in English as a medium of instruction. EMI stands for English as a Medium of Instruction. These teachers are usually required in countries where English is not the first language, and students may have difficulty understanding the subject material if it's taught in their native language. EMI content teachers, therefore, have to be proficient in both the subject matter as well as the English language. They need to be able to explain the concepts in the subject in a way that the students can understand it in English.
