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