“…As mentioned at the beginning of the Innovation Project, the main objective was to give the possibility during small periods of time within the subject to provide Art Therapy tools and sensory resources to students who, in these times of pandemic, suffer stress and are hyper connected to digital devices (Barrios et al, 2016;de Melo et al, 2020). In this way, and through Visual and Plastic Expression, they will be able to connect with a more "sensitive and tangible" reality and also in this way collaborate in their training as teachers of the Degree in Early Childhood Education.…”

This paper shows the experience developed in the compulsory subject Expression Laboratory of the 4th year of the Early Childhood Education Teaching Degree at the University of Oviedo within the Innovation Project Art Education and Sensitive Tools for Early Childhood Education (PINN-20-A-056). An optional project that was developed online during the first term of 2020-2021. It was developed in a stressful situation for the students, an educational context of distance learning, in which they felt stress and pandemic fatigue (Covid-19), with the additional disadvantage of not having common physical spaces in which to develop the artistic work of the subject in a context of didactics for Early Childhood Education. The objective was to integrate activities related to sensory stimuli and the well-being of people through the Visual Arts. To this end, a group of N=115 pupils were given the tools of art therapy and other disciplines. With a qualitative methodology, through semi-structured interviews, activities and questionnaires, the results were measured. The results are considered to have been positive, with an increase in motivation towards Art Education subjects. In conclusion, Art Therapy, Music Therapy and Mindfulness generate moments of relaxation and reduce anxiety in students.

“…In the case of this article, we will describe the following two specific actions: [1] Assisted structured materials development; a consensus has been reached to develop language and content integrated tasks with the assistance of a framework designed to include subtasks, one of which is the integrated glossary. [2] Formative classroom observation; language specialists observe content teachers teach in English and provide formative feedback within the specific classroom context.…”

This paper presents specific reference tools to provide institutional language integrated support with a specific language plan for a bilingual programme at the University of Malaga. This follows experts' opinions that claim the need of such a plan. While studies show the importance of language support in bilingual instruction, they rarely address specific content professors' needs tending to remain distant from real teaching contexts. The title "The language of learning" highlights the reality of bilingual classrooms to address specific needs of this unique academic scenario. The article examines how language support has a dual focus that includes both students and instructors. The paper concludes with a reflection on interdisciplinary innovation projects that provide professors with the tools to ensure the quality of bilingual programmes.

“…English is used not only for a subject course, but now it is used as a tool for learning knowledge. The current trend of EMI (English medium instruction) arises in Southeast Asian universities as well as European higher education (Barrios, Lopez-Gutierrez & Lechuga, 2016;Kaufhold, 2015;Kim, Son, & Sohn, 2009;Keefe & Shi, 2017;Tatzl, 2011). The establishment of EMI generates the number of non-native English speakers greater than the number of native English speakers (Kaur, 2014).…”

“…Previous studies about EMI has been explored, but most of them focused on the effectiveness of this course in the undergraduate level (Agai-Lochi, 2015; Barrios, E., et al, 2016;Huang, 2015;Ishikura, 2015;Kim, Son, & Sohn, 2009). Also, though studies of writing difficulties and strategies in graduate programs have been addressed (Dong, 1998;Imani & Habil, 2012;Yeh, 2010), most of them were conducted in the English speaking countries.…”

The establishment of English medium instruction (EMI) brings opportunities for non-native English speaking institutions to compete with Anglophone universities and attract international students to join their program. More policies were designed to improve the academic environment quality and attract international students. As a thesis becomes the graduation requirement, there is a weight of difficulties and high expectations to produce good writing. This study explores thesis writing problems and strategies perceived by L2 writers as international graduate students in Taiwanese EMI classrooms in Taiwan. The participants were 152 international students who pursued a graduate degree in Taiwanese tertiary education; their major was categorized into engineering and social studies. The data was collected through questionnaires and in-depth interviews with some participants. The quantitative result indicates both students across the major were experiencing the same challenges in thesis writing and utilizing similar strategies to overcome the problem. Later, the qualitative result provides explanations to what really happen among these graduate students while writing thesis. The result serves reference and suggestion for academics in assisting their supervisee. It also suggests to the university to assist these L2 writers by providing writing correction services to the betterment of the EMI programs in their institution.
