“PERCEPTIONS AND CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED BY TEACHERS WHO ARE CURRENTLY STRUGGLING TO IMPLEMENT ENGLISH AS A MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION AT DENAU INSTITUTE OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND PEDAGOGY”
Abstract
This study investigates the perceptions and challenges encountered by teachers tasked with implementing English as a medium of instruction at the field of Entrepreneurship and Management in Denau Institute of Entrepreneurship and Pedagogy. Amidst the global push for English language proficiency, many educational institutions, particularly in non-native English-speaking contexts, face hurdles in adopting English as the primary medium of instruction. Through qualitative research methods, including interviews and surveys, this study explores the perspectives of teachers navigating this transition. Findings reveal a range of challenges, including linguistic barriers, pedagogical adjustments, and cultural considerations. Moreover, the study sheds light on teachers' perceptions regarding the effectiveness and feasibility of English-medium instruction, providing valuable insights for educational policymakers and administrators.
