The internationalisation of higher education has contributed to the rapid expansion of English Medium Instruction (EMI) in Japan. The talk draws on empirical research on content learning outcomes in EMI programmes. It also includes a policy analysis of the final evaluation of the Top Global University Project. The findings highlight how the choice of medium influences academic outcomes. The talk also raises broader questions about fairness, inclusivity and the future direction of internationalisation in Japan.
