Abstract

Purpose: To analyze students' attitudes toward English-Medium Instruction (EMI) classes for nursing students. Methods: From January 23 to January 30, 2020, a survey was conducted using a web-based survey program on student attitudes, satisfaction, and improvement measures for EMI classes. 216 responded to the survey, giving a response rate of 63.7%. Results: The item with the highest score on the attitude toward EMI lectures was 'EMI classes will be of great help to student's future'. The item 'I will try to speak English with my classmates outside of the EMI class if possible' showed the lowest score. Students answered that they need an appropriate educational environment for the smooth operation of EMI classes, fewer students per class and support for group studies

본 연구는 간호대학 학생을 대상으로 영어로 진행되는 전공교과목에 대한 태도, 만족도 등을 분석하기 위하여 216명을 대상으로 설문조사를 수행하였다. 설문결과, 학생들은 EMI 수업이 자신의 미래에 긍정적인 영향을 끼칠 것이라는 문항이 가장 높게 나타난 반면 수업시간외 동료들과 영어로 의사소통하려고 노력하는 항목은 가장 낮은 점수를 보여주었다. 학생들은 EMI수업이 원활히 진행되기 위해서 EMI수업 진행에 적합한 교육환경의 조성이 필요하다고 응답하였다.
