Abstract
This paper presents a framework for identifying and categorizing instances of storytelling in English lingua franca (ELF) higher education situations, based on a corpus of English Medium Instruction (EMI) engineering lectures in France. The lectures were delivered to international students at Master's level, by L2-English lecturers of mixed nationalities. This research draws on previous studies of oral narratives in general, and in similar academic contexts, to analyze the 60 h of video and audio recordings of the corpus. The framework outlines the identification, categorization and description of stories, with transcribed extracts from the corpus illustrating the categories. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the role played by storytelling in EMI-ELF courses and could benefit lecturers themselves, but also students, institutions and their professional development policies.
