Ibn Tofail University Students’ Attitudes Towards Implementing English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI)

Abstract

This study investigates Ibn Tofail Faculty of Science students’ attitudes towards implementing English as a medium of instruction (EMI). This research examines students’ language proficiency, educational backgrounds, and equity issues in a possible shift to EMI. Findings corroborate existing literature indicating strongly positive attitudes towards a possible shift to EMI but highlight disparities in linguistic readiness between public and high school graduates. This study underscores the need for a comprehensive language policy centred around fostering equity to ensure the success of any possible shift to EMI.
