So, this will help in understanding the context of the study regarding their EMI policy into practices. According to McMillan (2012), this approach will also assist in verifying or supporting data achieved from interview or observation. To collect data systematically, EMI documents from KKU will be divided into two main categories. The first category is authorities’ EMI documents, which contain the official KKU’s EMI policies and HUSO’s EMI policies, reports and materials of the CLIL workshop. For second category is practitioners’ EMI documents, which comprise of content lecturers’ EMI teaching materials (i.e. course syllabus, input teaching materials, classroom activities, tasks and lesson plans). These documents will be collected in the research
