因應全球化及國際市場之開放競爭趨勢，高等教育國際化已成為多數國家關注及行動參與之教育議題。近年來英語授課已成為許多非英語系國家，包括台灣，高等教育為能提升就學率及學生競爭力所採行之因應策略。此文藉由相關文獻整理分析非英語系國家高等教育英語授課實施現況及困境，再以比利時根特大學英語授課實施作為案例介紹；研究者根據親身觀課經驗、及與教師及學生之互動對話，提供如列之結論：（一）英語授課實施能促進學校國際化並提供學生更多學習選擇；（二）英語授課實施需兼顧考量學生語言能力及先備知識經驗；（三）英語授課實施要能因應學生學習需求及困難並提供協助。

The internationalization of higher education has been an important issue both in policy making and educational practice. Using English as a medium of instruction (EMI) has been adopted by many non- English speaking countries, including Taiwan, as a resolution to increase enrollment rate and cultivate students' competitiveness in recent years. This paper reviews the literature focusing on the current practice and difficulties of implementing EMI courses in non-English speaking countries, and then follows by introducing the EMI courses implemented at Gent University in Belgium as an example; the findings are based on the researcher's visiting experiences and dialogues with course lecturers and students: 1. The implementation of EMI courses will promote the internationalization of school and provide students with multiple learning choices; 2. The implementation of EMI courses should take in account of students' language skills and their prior knowledge as well as experiences; 3. The implementation of EMI courses shall adapt the teaching approaches to students' learning difficulties and provide support for learning.
