Abstract

English Medium Instruction (EMI) has developed as an important topic of research, however some essential challenges relating to EMI have yet to be addressed. According to the opinions of EMI researchers in Turkey, detailed analytical investigations determining the orientation of EMI concerns are clearly lacking. As a result, the purpose of this study is to propose a future EMI research agenda by conducting a qualitative case study to get an in-depth understanding of the research interests of EMI scholars in Turkish higher education. Criterion sampling which is one of the types of purposive sampling was used to identify 5 volunteer EMI academics working at private and public EMI institutions for interviews. Participants from various regions of Turkey expressed their perspectives on EMI's future research plan. Content analysis was used to examine the data. This study outlines the essential topics of the EMI research agenda such as “assessment and measurement practices in EMI, artificial intelligence and EMI material development”, which should be focused on in the Turkish EMI setting based on interviews with these researcher academics. These EMI issues will shed insight on future EMI research investigations in Turkey.
