    The impact of English medium instruction (EMI) on students' language abilities
    (World Council for Curriculum and Instruction (WCCI), 2017-11) Coşgun, Gülçin; Hasırcı, Bahar; Undergraduate English Program; COŞKUN, Gülçin; HASIRCI, Bahar
    This paper reports on an investigation of Turkish English-medium university students’ perceptions of the change in their language ability and difference between students’ level of English proficiency when they start their departmental studies and in their 4th semester and onwards based on their proficiency exam scores. Results revealed that 1) studying in an English-medium university improves students’ reading, listening and overall English proficiency significantly 2) there is not a statistically significant change between student’s pre and post writing scores 3) the empirical findings are line with participants’ perceptions of the impact of studying in an English-medium university on their language development. These findings suggest insightful implications for English-medium universities in Turkey and all around the world.

    Factors affecting students’ English proficiency in a Turkish EMI University: a phenomenological study
    (World Council for Curriculum and Instruction (WCCI), 2018) Hasırcı, Bahar; Coşgun, Gülçin; Undergraduate English Program; COŞKUN, Gülçin; HASIRCI, Bahar
    This paper reports on an investigation of Turkish English-medium university students’ perceptions of the change in their language ability and the factors affecting this change. Results revealed that 1) when students are highly exposed to English and are expected to use it productively for their studies, they perceive that there is greater development in their language skills and abilities 2) students think that corrective feedback plays a crucial role in helping them focus their attention on the form 3) speaking is perceived to be the weakest and the least improved skill over the years. These findings suggest insightful implications for English-medium universities in Turkey and all around the world.
