虽然英语教学（EMI）现在在世界各地广泛传播，但令人惊讶的是，很少有研究探讨学生在尝试通过非母语学习主题时所面临的挑战，或者学习者如何尝试应对这些挑战。在这篇文章中报道的研究采用了定性的方法，使用录像，一个开放式的问卷调查，并刺激回忆访谈，调查在土耳其大学的国际关系和心理学课程的学生所面临的困难。学生们还被要求确定他们在试图科普这些困难时使用的策略。学生们确实能够列出一些困难，但也提出了许多策略来处理他们面临的问题。建议学生支持和教师培训的影响，以及正在进行的研究的建议。
Although English-medium instruction (EMI) is now widely spread throughout the world, there is surprisingly little research into the challenges students face as they try to learn subject matter by means of a non-native language, or how learners attempt to address these challenges. The study reported in this article employed a qualitative approach, using video-recording, an open-ended questionnaire, and stimulated-recall interviews to investigate the difficulties faced by students working in International Relations and Psychology classes in a Turkish university. The students were also asked to identify the strategies they used in an attempt to cope with these difficulties. The students were indeed able to list a number of difficulties, but numerous strategies were also suggested to deal with the problems they faced. Implications are suggested for student support and teacher training, as well as suggestions for ongoing research.
