Xiao Zhang; Christiane Lütge; Lili Zou – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
Although there is a body of research on the teacher first language (L1) use in English-medium-instruction (EMI) classrooms, very little research has probed into how international students perceive local teacher L1 use and their learning practices in the English as a lingua franca (ELF) context. To address the gap, the present case study explored a…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Xiao Zhang; Christiane Lütge – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
International students' attitudes towards teachers' codeswitching to the first language (L1) have not been adequately investigated in cross-cultural English-medium instruction (EMI) settings, where teachers and international students do not share the same L1 while they interact in English as a lingua franca (ELF). To fill that void, this study…
