This article is based on empirical research carried out at the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP), Cambodia, between 2018 and 2019. The research involved both quantitative and qualitative approaches. In the case of the former, the researchers conducted a large-scale survey of students involving 956 respondents, of whom 79 were postgraduate students, while the overwhelming majority were studying at the undergraduate level. The qualitative data collected in this project comprised detailed interviews with undergraduates studying at RUPP. The results of both types of data collection indicated that, although many students faced difficulties in studying through the medium of English, there was widespread support across the student body for the use of English in Cambodian higher education.

本文基于柬埔寨金边皇家大学 (RUPP) 2018 年至 2019 年进行的实证研究。研究涉及定量和定性方法。就前者而言，研究人员对956名受访者进行了大规模的学生调查，其中79名是研究生，而绝大多数是本科生。该项目收集的定性数据包括对 RUPP 本科生的详细访谈。这两类数据收集的结果表明，尽管许多学生在通过英语学习时面临困难，但学生群体普遍支持在柬埔寨高等教育中使用英语。
