Challenges Facing Teachers of EMI Seminars #731

With the ever increasing internationalisation of Japanese universities, more foreign instructors are being entrusted with teaching seminars (the “zemi”). These teachers often find themselves in social, pastoral, and mentoring roles that go beyond their usual academic duties. This paper reports the findings of a qualitative interview study of such teachers and aims to provide insights and support for those who have recently begun teaching zemi classes.
