초록
The purpose of this study was to examine how Korean professors teaching a major course in English perceived EMI engineering courses and what kinds of teaching strategy they used to cope with the problems they faced. To this end, 32 instructors completed the questionnaire and five took part in an in-depth interview to give a detailed explanation for the results. The results showed that they used a variety of teaching strategies- to speak slower, to use more frequent words, and to use L1-to help facilitate students’ learning. Also, the respondents answered that EMI would be effective in learning engineering terminology and promoting English reading ability. However, EMI courses don’t seem to be effective in explaining and understanding basic engineering concepts. Therefore, they suggest that EMI courses be offered for junior or senior students who have already finished fundamental major courses. It seems that stress and pressure of EMI course would be relieved with more experience in EMI courses. Finally the professors were eager to have teaching assistants who could support them to increase EMI course effectiveness. It is hoped that these results and suggestions will contribute to strengthening EMI courses in order to promote students’ major learning as well as their English proficiency.
