Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the needs of the students in the departments of a state university in Istanbul in terms of English medium instruction (EMI) scrutinizing the variety in the amount of EMI, differences regarding the faculties, and department-prep school differences. 380 participants from prep school (N= 380), 65 students studying at the departments (N= 65) completed an online questionnaire developed by a group of Ph.D. students who tried to analyze the possible English language needs of the students at this university. The results of the one-way ANOVA showed that differences regarding the departments of the students were not important in their needs of EMI. Also, items in the questionnaire were almost equally important for the students who received different amount of EMI. On the other hand, there was a significant difference between the prep school students and students in the departments in terms of language needs. The results call for more attention to identify the differences and similarities between the needs of students in prep schools and the departments while designing a curriculum for the prep schools.

Özet

Bu çalışma, bir devlet üniversitesindeki öğrencilerin İngilizce eğitim ihtiyaçlarını belirlemeyi ve çeşitli miktarda sunulan İngilizce eğitimi fakülteler ile bölüm-hazırlık okulu arasındaki farklılıklar açısından irdelemeyi hedeflemiştir. Bu üniversitedeki öğrencilerin olası İngilizce dil ihtiyaçlarını analiz etmeye çalışan bir grup doktora öğrencisi tarafından geliştirilen bir anket, hazırlık okulunda (N = 380) ve bölümde okuyan (N = 65) öğrenci tarafından tamamlamıştır. Tek yönlü ANOVA sonuçları, öğrencilerin bölümleri ile ilgili farklılıkların İngilizceye dayalı eğitim-öğretim gereksinimlerinde önemli olmadığını göstermiştir. Ayrıca, anketteki maddeler farklı miktarda İngilizce eğitim gören öğrenciler için neredeyse eşit derecede önemlidir. Öte yandan, hazırlık sınıfı öğrencileri ile bölüm öğrencileri arasında dil gereksinimleri açısından önemli bir fark vardır. Sonuçlar, hazırlık okulları için bir eğitim programı tasarlarken, hazırlık okullarındaki öğrencilerin ihtiyaçları arasındaki farklılıkları ve benzerlikleri belirlemenin önemine dikkat çekmektedir.
