Study Skills Course for Undergraduate English-Medium Instruction Business Students in Taiwan
Sat, April 23, 9:45 to 11:15am PDT (9:45 to 11:15am PDT), World Educational Research Association Virtual Meeting Rooms, WERA Virtual Meeting Room 1Abstract
In the last decade, universities worldwide have been making great strides in recruiting international students by offering English-medium instruction courses or programs. This study investigated the effect of a study skills class implemented in an undergraduate business program in Taiwan, and compared the changes in students’ general self-efficacy beliefs, along with their flexibility and willingness to utilize English-learning strategies, before and after taking the course. Among the 68 participants, it was shown that explicit instruction and continuous practice of learning strategies proved to have a significantly positive influence on students’ level of self-efficacy and their likelihood to adopt assorted learning strategies for their EMI courses. Findings of this study provide a potential solution to improve student retention in EMI programs.
