Authors : Saidani Rima . Afkir Mohamed .

Abstract

This study investigates undergraduate engineering students’ attitudes towards EMI program in Algeria. Data was collected using a questionnaire from a sample of 232 participants and eventually analysed using SPSS. The results revealed that students reported improvement in both their English skills and content knowledge. Further, although many students have grumbled about instructors’ accent and English proficiency, they expressed positive attitudes towards content comprehension. Finally, the students held negative attitudes towards trilingual practices in EMI classrooms. Some implications are drawn based on the findings.
