<![CDATA[There are considerable academic challenges when it comes to listening comprehension in physics lectures in English (English medium instruction, EMI) for non-native English speakers. In view of this, the present study was designed to investigate listening difficulties of physics students and their desired types of instructional support. Through the application of descriptive survey design, data was obtained using a structured questionnaire from 60 purposively selected students. The questionnaire focuses on figuring out their motivation, listening problems and required assistance. The results showed a clear need for further support, especially through access to recorded lectures, additional language training, and more guided listening activities. Additionally, the data revealed difficulties were usually of a linguistic nature; students did not easily recognize the pronunciation of technical vocabulary or became accustomed to different accents of the lecturers. Even so, many students expressed that they could still follow the main flow of the lessons and remained highly motivated in their studies. Based on the results, there are some ways of overcoming obstacles related to listening in EMI physics courses based on the students' perspective. Regular practice of pronunciation, more exposure to different English accents, and easy access to review materials are needed to improve listening skills and academic performance of students.]]>
