Özet:

 

English Medium Instruction (EMI) has been a growingly popular practice
in public and private universities around Turkey. Following the trend of
internationalization overeagerly, Turkish universities have started
undergraduate and graduate programs run partially or fully in English, yet they
have given not enough thought to what it requires to teach and learn an
academic subject in an additional language. Decision makers at the tertiary
level have often regarded English language proficiency as the only indicator of
success in these programmes and mistakenly believed that the required English
proficiency level could be attained within a year through the “Preparatory Year English Language Programme
(PYP)” offered by the
language school of the university. However, it has been seen that in many
cases, these one-year-long intensive English programmes have failed to meet the
needs of the students preparing to study their prospective academic fields in
English, and low student motivation has been observed as a major hindrance. The
aim of this study is to find out if choosing an EMI programme has a positive
effect on student motivation and English language proficiency and to discover
if there is a positive correlation between student motivation and academic
achievement. For that purpose, during the spring semester of the academic year
2016-2017, 40 PYP students  enrolled in
an EMI programme run fully (100%) in English, 40 PYP students enrolled in an
EMI programme run partially (30%) in English and 40 PYP students enrolled in a
programme run completely in Turkish were given Gardner’s Attitude/Motivation Test Battery
Questionnaire. Then students’ end-of-the-year test
scores were collected to identify if there is a correlation between student
achievement and motivation in these three groups of students. Based on the
findings, pedagogical implications for PYPs will be discussed. .
