Abstract
In the last 10 years, what has been published about English language teaching in higher education in the UAE? This review article opens up a discussion about what has been studied and published and what direction future research might take. It focuses on research articles that were published in peer-reviewed journals and influential edited books on the most recent research in education in the Gulf as a whole. This overview reports on both student voices and teacher voices as important aspects of the state of higher education in the past decade. Here, in this review, my guiding question is, “What has driven research in language teaching in higher education in the UAE in the past 10 years?” English teaching in higher education in the UAE focuses on ESL classroom instruction, student learning, educational technology, testing systems, and professional views of teachers. The analysis I present in the following paragraphs shows that these various aspects of English language teaching are complex and pervasive, creating a blurring of the research landscape which can hold opportunity for further investigation.KeywordsHigher educationResearchEnglish as medium of instructionExpatriate teachersCEPAIELTSiPadsKnowledge economy
