A tale of two studies
This article presents two empirical studies investigating the extent to which general English proficiency (GEP) and selected learner dispositions in online learning maintain their predictive utility for academic success in English-medium instruction (EMI) contexts in Türkiye across the pre-pandemic, pandemic, and post-pandemic periods. Both studies sampled engineering students from a large public university, with Study 1 involving 474 participant…
Generative Artificial Intelligence as a Linguistic Crutch or Cognitive Scaffold
This study examines how self‐efficacy, self‐regulation, and generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) ‐related factors interact to shape academic success and general English proficiency (GEP) within an EMI context. It draws on data from 754 EMI students at a major public university in Turkey, focusing on the social sciences and engineering disciplines. The findings reveal that for social science students, besides GEP, a positive perception towar…
Linguistic and non-linguistic factors impacting EMI academic success
This study explored changes in English language proficiency and several non-linguistic factors during four years of English medium instruction (EMI) in two academic disciplines in a Turkish university setting. Moreover, it also investigated whether changes (if any) had a predictive impact on the academic success of EMI students. In addition, potential differences between disciplines were also investigated. The participants were 241 EMI students f…
The role of ‘correctness’ in the age of English as a lingua franca
This study investigated non-English major students’ (N = 322) perceptions of non-standard lexico-grammatical features of English often considered to be acceptable when those without a common first language use English as a lingua franca to facilitate communication. The participants were recruited from diverse national origins (n = 18) studying in various majors (n= 31). A five-point Likert scale questionnaire was administered to students, asking …
The relationship between university EFL teachers’ oral feedback beliefs and practices and the impact of individual differences
This study investigated Turkish EFL teachers’ beliefs and practices about the aspects of oral corrective feedback (OCF). It explored the impact of individual differences, namely educational background, special training, and teaching experience, on the relationship between the beliefs and practices. Data on teachers’ practices were collected via 153 h of classroom observations from 51 Turkish EFL teachers at two different universities, and teacher…
A longitudinal study at an English medium instruction university in Turkey
This article reports a quantitative empirical study that investigated whether English language proficiency increases over time when studying academic content through English Medium Instruction (EMI). It was also investigated whether an increase in proficiency predicts EMI academic achievement. Student English language test score data and Grade Point Average (GPA) data were collected from a public university in Turkey. Two academic subjects were c…
Investigating the impact of linguistic and non-linguistic factors on EMI academic success
Teachers’ beliefs and practices about oral corrective feedback in university EFL classes
This study examined (in)congruences between beliefs and practices of EFL university teachers on in‐class oral corrective feedback (OCF). The participants were 20 university English language teachers from a private university in Turkey. Data were collected via video‐recorded non‐participant detached observation, a task about OCF to determine the beliefs of the teachers, and a stimulated recall interview. The results showed incongruence between wha…
Students’ academic language-related challenges in English Medium Instruction
Predictors of English Medium Instruction academic success
Identity and the spoken grammar dilemma
A Critical Analysis of Foreign Language Pre-service Teacher Education in Turkey
Although research studies delving into foreign language teacher education in Turkey have been growing exponentially over the last few decades, so much more still lies undiscovered. What is mostly needed is not the synopsis of what Turkish foreign language teacher education policy has gone through, but the critical investigation of how it has been shaped so far, thereby allowing us to better comprehend the underlying challenges, failures, and prec…
