“…A similar situation pertains in communication studies. As Martin and Gaffney (2016) argue, when verbal or other nonlinguistic modes have been discussed in the literature, more often than not they have been presented merely as "add-ons" to verbal communication. English studies have done little better, consistently forwarding text at the expense of other modalities (Selfe, 2009).…”

The rise of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) threatens to upend traditional teaching and learning practices. Writing, speaking, and communication instruction will all need to evolve. This article presents a case study of one institution's efforts to design and implement a communication curriculum responsive to the unique demands of the EMI environment. The curriculum proposed enacts an interdisciplinary, multimodal approach to the teaching of communication. We discuss the specifics of the curriculum, the process of its creation, the principles underlying it, and how these principles play out in practice. In doing so, we hope to provide a model both for global communication instruction and future curricular design efforts.
