Abstract

This study explores the experiences and perceptions of transnational graduates from English medium instruction (EMI) programs at a Turkish higher education institution. A mixed-methods approach employing descriptive statistics and content analysis investigates how graduates perceive the impact of EMI on their content knowledge, English proficiency, career advancement, international exposure, and academic participation. Drawing on self-reported data, the study found that EMI programs contributed to professional development, facilitated career opportunities, and improved English language proficiency, particularly in technical vocabulary. Participants also reported feeling confident in their field-specific competencies and had better engagement with international communities and developments. Qualitative findings highlighted communication challenges experienced by transnational graduates when engaging with residents of their host communities. The study indicates the long-term outcomes of EMI programs for transnational graduates in today's interconnected and diverse professional landscape.

英语教学对土耳其跨国毕业生的影响:混合方法研究的启示
本研究探讨了土耳其一所高等教育机构英语教学(EMI)项目的跨国毕业生的经历和看法。研究采用描述性统计和内容分析的混合方法,调查了毕业生如何看待 EMI 对其内容知识、英语水平、职业发展、国际视野和学术参与的影响。根据自我报告的数据,研究发现,EMI 课程有助于专业发展、促进就业机会、提高英语水平,尤其是专业词汇。参与者还报告说,他们对自己在特定领域的能力充满信心,并能更好地参与国际社区和发展。定性研究结果强调了跨国毕业生在与东道国社区居民交流时遇到的挑战。这项研究表明,在当今相互联系和多样化的职业环境中,EMI 项目对跨国毕业生的长期影响是巨大的。
