Abstract
ABSTRACTTechnologies are seen to have made a strong contribution to the global spread of the English, yet their role in relation to EMI contexts has been little explored. This paper seeks to address this gap by looking at some of the ways in which EMI, internationalisation and the use of technologies are intertwined. Two specific approaches to the use of technology in education are presented and explored, MOOCs (massive open online courses) and virtual exchange, that is sustained interaction and/or collaboration between students located in geographically distant contexts. Specific examples of how these applications of technology can and have been used for teaching and professional development in EMI contexts are provided. The paper seeks to take a critical stance, unpicking some of the assumptions and ideologies in the discourses surrounding educational technologies and exploring how different models of use contribute to the ‘ecology of knowledges’.
