A Study on the Engagement and Learning Outcomes of Non-English-Speaking Students in EMI Classrooms

Abstract

In the context of globalization in education, economy, and culture, global connections are increasingly strengthened. EMI (English-Medium Instruction) classrooms have gradually been widely established in non-English speaking countries, aiming to continuously improve students’ language skills and cross-cultural adaptability. Student engagement has a direct impact on the quality of EMI classroom teaching and students’ learning outcomes. Therefore, this paper first provides a brief analysis of the impact of student engagement on learning outcomes in EMI classrooms in non-English speaking countries. It then explores the value of the EMI classroom environment in enhancing student engagement and discusses strategies to increase student engagement in EMI classrooms. The goal is to significantly improve student engagement in EMI classrooms in non-English speaking countries and promote better learning outcomes for students.
