Abstract

English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) has become increasingly prevalent in non-English subjects within Islamic higher education institutions. However, students’ motivation to engage in EMI-based learning varies due to linguistic, cultural, and pedagogical factors. This study explores the motivation of students in an Islamic higher education institution where EMI is implemented in non-English subjects, examining the key factors that influence their attitudes, engagement, and academic performance. Using a mixed-method approach, data were collected through surveys and interviews with 5 lecturers and 128 students enrolled in EMI courses. The findings indicate that while many students perceive EMI as beneficial for improving their English proficiency and expanding global academic opportunities, challenges such as limited language proficiency, instructor effectiveness, and cultural adaptation impact their motivation. The study also reveals that students with strong intrinsic motivation tend to perform better in EMI courses, whereas those with extrinsic motivation often struggle due to linguistic barriers. Moreover, Islamic values and institutional support play a crucial role in shaping students' attitudes toward EMI. The study suggests that integrating language support programs, adaptive teaching strategies, and culturally responsive pedagogy can enhance students’ motivation and academic success in EMI-based learning. The implications of these findings are significant for policymakers and educators aiming to implement EMI effectively in Islamic higher education contexts.

Abstract

Evaluating a coursebook is necessary to find the strengths and weaknesses to improve the quality of sources and professional development. This study aimed to investigate the suitability of EAP coursebook materials with the criteria for good teaching materials and the English language needs of IAIN Purwokerto students. The study engaged 83 second-semester students at IAIN Purwokerto, who were randomly drawn from each study program at IAIN Purwokerto. The researchers employed a content analysis procedure: the unit of analysis covering places, actors, activities, research variables in the form of teaching materials in EAP courses, and data collection using a checklist. The analysis of the research is based on the criteria of good teaching materials and the students' English needs which cover the target requirement component for needs analysis, consisting of the students’ needs, shortcomings, and desires. The researchers found that the suitability of the coursebook with the criteria for good text teaching materials has average level of relevance of 50.13%, which is quite appropriate in the category. There were some weaknesses or shortcomings that made this EAP course book not classified as a high level of relevance. English language needs of IAIN Purwokerto students tend to learn integrated language skills, especially speaking and listening.
