However, the different focus of the existing literature, which indicates the effectiveness of applying multidisciplinary technological approaches, has not been sufficiently discussed despite its profound significance in the higher learning setting. To fill such a gap, the PRISMA guidelines and two supporting databases, Scopus and Web of Science, were employed to examine recent studies conducted over the last decade. Significant findings from the 19 selected articles indicate the issues of sustainability, student employability, complex thinking, pre-service teacher training, and teaching innovation were the five key themes that prove the benefits of multidisciplinary technological methods to improve the quality of higher education. This review holds significant implications for educational practitioners, policymakers, and researchers, offering valuable insights that may guide the adoption and implementation of multidisciplinary technological approaches in higher education.</p> Cai Chi Melor Md Yunus Karmila Rafiqah M.

In Vietnam, though the goal of communicative effectiveness in English language teaching (ELT) is acknowledged, EIL syllabus material design has been given little attention. This study aims to explore the perceptions of material developers regarding EIL incorporation in teaching materials and the actual extent of EIL integration in teaching materials of an English for academic course. The results show that there exists a mismatch between the material developers’ appreciation of EIL incorporation and their modest practices of incorporating EIL in teaching materials. The research also indicated that while the material developers equally value international target culture, culture(s) of future interlocutor and local culture, the priority in material design was given to culture of native speakers. The opportunities to develop skills to communicate across the differences are also given credits in teaching materials, as perceived and practiced in the material design of the course. The research suggests a pedagogical implication towards further incorporation of EIL in language courses to university students and the role of material developers in resonating material design with actual communicative contexts.</p> Phuong Anh Nguyen Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Advanced Research in Future Ready Learning and Education 2024-09-18 2024-09-18 36 1 11 24 10.37934/frle.36.1.1124
