Language progress of EMI and non-EMI economics undergraduates: a comparative perspective
Despite a growing interest in English-medium instruction (EMI), research on students’ English language proficiency advancement in EMI has been scarce. Hence, this study investigates the general and business English language proficiency of EMI and non-EMI students at a Croatian university at the beginning and the end of their BA studies, with the aim of analysing and comparing their English language progress. The data were collected by means of a questionnaire looking at the students’ experiences, expectations and language self-assessment, the Oxford Quick Placement Test, as well as a C-test and a business English test designed by the authors of the study. Interviews with the students were also conducted to further enquire into the data gathered from the questionnaire and the tests. The findings point to greater English language proficiency of EMI students at the beginning and the end of their BA studies, and to their better progress in business English. They also reveal non-EMI students’ greater progress in general English.
