English as a medium of instruction (EMI) programs are an increasing
phenomenon in European universities. This paper takes an ethnographic
approach to understanding the impact of EMI on pedagogy in a private
university in eastern Ukraine. Fieldwork was conducted over the 2010-2011
academic year in 9 English-medium and 3 Russian-medium classes. Data
indicated that EMI education posed staffing challenges, as teachers were either
language experts with low content knowledge or were content experts with
anxiety about their English language skills. In addition, it was at times difficult
to obtain textbooks and other print resources in English. Some teachers found
teaching in a foreign language necessitated adjustments to speaking pace,
discipline, and general classroom
