Abstract

English Medium Instruction or EMI has proven to be able to improve higher educational institution competitiveness in the global era. This study is aimed at investigating management’s, lecturers’ and students’ perceptions on their readiness to overcome challenges in implementing EMI. This qualitative study examines the perception of management, lecturers, and students at the Civil Engineering Department on their readiness to face challenges in implementing EMI. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 3 population groups. The number of participants were 15 in total. The data was analyzed through coding, based on the themes retrieved from the interview result. The result of this study reveals that most of the participants are not ready to implement EMI as many lecturers realize that their English proficiency is not sufficient for teaching in English. Furthermore, the management is not sure about the direction on how to implement EMI and the resource material is very minimal, with no policy from top management. Meanwhile, most students are not ready to be in the EMI classroom, as they were not confident with their English proficiency. Additionally, this research comes with some recommendations as well, such as lecturers and students suggesting using partial EMI implementation in the classroom. Lecturers also recommend that lecturers who are ready to implement EMI in their classroom, must start initial EMI classes.
