Students’ Perspectives on English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in the Case of an Interpersonal Communication Course in English
English has become an international means of communication. Thus, it is gaining its popularity worldwide as a means of instruction in higher education all over the world. Although English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) has grown exponentially in recent years, a number of perceived needs and challenges still remain unaddressed. This article starts with a brief description of EMI methodology. Then, it discusses the results of the study, the main objective of which was to find answers to the following research questions: (1) How do the learners perceive the EMI course? and (2) What are the challenges faced by the students in the EMI classes? The participants of the research project described here were three groups of international students attending an Interpersonal Communication (IC) course in English at one of technical universities in Poland.
