Based on "Tuned for Success: A Case Study on Teacher–Student Alignment and Cognitive Demands in EMI Environments"
The article examines how comprehension in English-Medium Instruction is shaped by language proficiency, linguistic interference, perceived competence, and the degree of linguistic harmonisation between teachers and students.
Higher levels of comprehension are associated with lower levels of linguistic interference.
Alignment between lecturers' and students' language can support mutual understanding and reduce miscommunication.
EMI students process academic content while decoding foreign-language input, which can increase working memory demands.
Scaffolding, translanguaging, strategic code-switching, multimodal practices, and adaptive delivery can support comprehension.
