At College of Health Sciences- University of Sharjah, one hundred students participated in the study through completing a self-assessment questionnaire on the impact of EMI course-taking experiences on their English academic skills. Semi-structured, individual interviews were conducted with ten students and four instructors in order to explore their perceptions of EMI in science classes. A convergent parallel mixed methods approach was employed to analyze quantitative and qualitative data. Using descriptive statistics, independent-samples t-tests, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation, the study revealed that the discrepancies in the students’ acknowledgement of the impact of EMI on their learning experiences are due to a number of sociocultural and educational factors. However, most of the students and half of the instructors advocated the English-only science instruction.The British University in Dubai (BUiD)2017-01-16T10:30:12Z2017-01-16T10:30:12Z2016-09Dissertationapplication/pdf2014101035http://bspace.buid.ac.ae/handle/1234/957enoai:bspace.buid.ac.ae:1234/9572021-11-23T06:57:56Z |
