Despite the increasing prevalence of English Medium Instruction (EMI) courses in universities in Japan, little is known about the competencies required to teach these courses successfully. Through semi-structured interviews with university instructors who have taught EMI courses, I examined the difficulties faced by them, competencies they need to have, and professional development and additional support they wish to receive to run EMI courses effectively.
