Zusammenfassung
Listening comprehension of lectures in L2 contexts is a widely researched topic. Findings have been
applied to both materials and course design. This paper focuses on findings about the facilitative role in
comprehension of those discourse markers (DM) which signal lecture structure. These markers can also
be of assistance in L2 contexts such as new English Medium Instruction (EMI) scenarios, where the
lecturer is not a native speaker of English. A small-scale investigation about the presence of these markers
in EMI lecturer discourse is presented. Findings indicate that lecturers need a more overt signalling of
lecture phases and a wider stylistic variety enabling them to do so. The paper concludes by suggesting
that EAP materials for training students in listening comprehension could be a good resource to provide
the lecturer with a repertoire of linguistic tools to structure their lecturers and in consequence facilitate
comprehension for students.
