This multiple case study investigates how subject teachers of economics in a Vietnamese university integrate technology to address challenges encountered in teaching through English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) courses. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations with four economics teachers. The analysis reveals that while these teachers attempted to incorporate technology into their pedagogical practices, its utilization remained constrained, primarily serving logistical functions rather than substantively transforming their teaching methods. The study underscores the complexity and nuances of technology integration within EMI contexts, pointing towards the need for more comprehensive support and strategies to enhance effective technology adoption among subject teachers in higher education settings.
