Open Educational Resources | Pao Yue-kong Library, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

This presentation examines the urgent need to decolonize English Medium Instruction (EMI) in higher education by challenging the dominance of native English norms, addressing linguistic imperialism, and critically assessing the pervasive influence of imported Western curricula. Often, these resources reinforce colonial power dynamics by prioritizing Western perspectives and marginalizing local knowledge systems. Through Global Englishes frameworks, I will explore strategies for inclusive EMI practices that integrate diverse linguistic and cultural perspectives. Such strategies aim to foster curricula that respect local identities and empower students and educators in non-Anglophone contexts. Drawing on data from the Southeast Asian context, I will explore ways to foster an equitable, decolonized approach to internationalization in higher education that aligns with broader goals of internationalisation and linguistic justice.
