Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the perceptions and demands of students in English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) at a research university. Four hundred thirteen university students participated in this study and their perceptions of EMI taught by foreign professors were examined by the survey. The major findings of this study are as follows. First, students answered that EMI had a positive effect on improving English language skills in general. Second, the students felt that subject courses should be taught in Korean to achieve deeper learning processing of content knowledge. Third, most students preferred the EMI taught by a foreign professor over the EMI taught by a Korean professor because of foreign professors’ fluency in English speaking. Based on the findings, some suggestions are provided for EMI at the post-secondary level.
