The appropriateness of teaching materials is one of the essential components in gaining the maximum input of knowledge to achieve the success of a language learning. In terms of teaching English for specific purposes, the contextualized material is a prerequisite to encourage the learners’ productivity in using the language. Therefore, the present study sheds light on English teaching material needs of accounting students at IAIN Surakarta and the challenges that accounting students face to fulfil the needs. Descriptive qualitative was employed in this study by administering Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and web-based survey to the first-year accounting students who had finished English for Specific Purposes course as the participants. Semi-structured interview was also conducted with the English lecturers and the head of accounting department to enrich the data. The data were analysed by transcribing the results of FGD and semi-structured interview and describing the questionnaire results as data triangulation. The findings of this study showed that contextual English teaching materials are strongly needed by accounting students to enhance their language production. Moreover, there are some insights from the participants related to the ideal teaching materials for accounting students. These findings offer practical insights in designing a representative teaching material for accounting students to equip them with outstanding language skills in accounting field.

“…As recommended by scholars (Lenard & Lenard, 2018;Marcu, 2020), the use of placement tests in ESP classes can help teachers to distribute students based on their English language proficiency and design appropriate syllabus and lesson materials. The ESP teachers in the current study also valued trainings which can help novice teachers be familiar with classes with diverse students, and able to adapt with new learning environment (Chmelikova & Hurajova, 2019). As for the last challenge, institution support, the participants mentioned how they made use of relevant trainings outside of their institution.…”

<p>This study examines challenges experienced by Indonesian ESP teachers in face-to-face education system, and possible solutions they have deployed to tackle the challenges. An online survey was employed to discover challenges the ESP teachers perceived, which was then quantitatively analysed using SPSS software. Besides, semi-structure interviews were carried out to explore solutions the ESP teachers had deployed to resolve the challenges, which was then qualitatively analysed using coding system. The findings show that the ESP teachers are dealing with five major challenges with inadequate teaching material being the most challenging (M=3.15, SD=0.88) and unsupported institution system being the least challenging (M=2.34, SD=0.62). To tackle the challenges, the teachers employ several techniques such as adapting ready-made materials, collaborating with specific-subject teachers, and participating in relevant trainings, and asking for IT experts’ assistance. As the findings reveal, this study provides us with pedagogical implications such as the need of relevant trainings and adequate textbooks for ESP teachers and placement tests for ESP students. Some limitations and suggestions for future studies are also presented.</p>

“…4.8.8 English as a medium of instruction (EMI). Several studies highlighted the importance of non-English-speaking HEIs adopting EMI for internationalization purposes (Chmelikova and Hurajova, 2019;Gundsambuu, 2019a;Dearden, 2014). Dearden (2014) defined EMI as "a growing global phenomenon in education that uses English to teach academic subjects in countries where the native language is not English" (p. 2), and Coleman (2006) called it the Englishization of education.…”

“…Challenges to internationalizing face-to-face faculty include reluctance to move abroad and the high cost of hiring foreign faculty. Language proficiency poses a significant challenge for both local and foreign professors (Chmelikova and Hurajova, 2019). Romani-Dias and Carneiro (2020) found that faculty pursues internationalization to have international job opportunities, gain social recognition and greater autonomy, and enhance security.…”

PurposeInternationalization has been a paramount objective for higher education institutions (HEIs) for decades. However, the landscape of education underwent significant transformation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to altered contexts, challenges and opportunities for HEI internationalization. This paper aims to critically evaluate the dimensions of internationalization strategies in HEIs and the opportunities within each dimension. Adopting a reflexive approach, the study focused on non-Western HEIs, recognizing the diverse approaches to internationalization within higher education contexts.Design/methodology/approachUsing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology, this paper covered 74 articles published in Web of Science database from January 2019 to December 2023.FindingsThe study organized dimensions related to internationalization strategies in non-Western HEIs, offering a comprehensive framework comprising six dimensions: students, programs, faculty, research, international ventures and other sources; and nine internationalization facilitators: international partnerships, funding, government education, international policies, technology, internationalization culture, diversity and inclusion, staff competence and attitude, student/faculty engagement, intercultural experience and satisfaction, English as a medium of instruction (EMI), and knowledge transfer mechanisms. Furthermore, the study delineated strategies within each dimension and highlighted prevalent performance indicators utilized by HEIs.Originality/valueThe study’s primary contribution is a conceptual framework designed to assist HEI directors and academics. This framework delves into dimensions, strategies and indicators of internationalization particularly relevant in the post-pandemic era.
