The current study aims at unpacking the language ideologies of the STEM + Business graduates in relation to English medium instruction (EMI) and how they perceive the contribution of EMI towards English proficiency development. It also intended to unfold the extent to which EMI education may have contributed to their employability and fulfillment of workplace communication needs. Inspired by inadequate evidence on the effect of EMI on English Language Proficiency (ELP) and employability, the researchers engaged with the participants who could draw on their EMI experiences in developing ELP, attaining employability, and fulfilling workplace communication needs in English. Theoretical aspects of language ideologies, ELP, and employability set the conceptual ground of the study. Adopting the interpretive phenomenological approach and harnessing semi-structured interview questions, the study collected data from eight participants. The study found that the language ideologies of the graduates were shaped by the perceived role and importance of English to serve academic and economic purposes through the availability of curriculum corresponding to global standards, access to knowledge, English-oriented atmosphere and ELP development, and EMI policy adoption and implementation in higher education institutions was seen as a panacea to avail the facilities described above. The participants also confirmed that EMI education benefitted their ELP, enabling them to obtain jobs and perform workplace communication in English.

当前的研究旨在揭示 STEM + 商科毕业生与英语媒介教学 (EMI) 相关的语言意识形态，以及他们如何看待 EMI 对英语能力发展的贡献。它还旨在揭示 EMI 教育对他们的就业能力和满足工作场所沟通需求的贡献程度。受 EMI 对英语语言能力 (ELP) 和就业能力影响的证据不足的启发，研究人员与参与者进行了接触，他们可以利用他们的 EMI 经验来发展 ELP、获得就业能力和满足职场英语沟通需求。语言意识形态、ELP 和就业能力的理论方面奠定了本研究的概念基础。该研究采用解释现象学方法并利用半结构化访谈问题，收集了八名参与者的数据。研究发现，毕业生的语言意识形态是由英语在学术和经济目的中的作用和重要性所塑造的，通过提供符合全球标准的课程、获取知识、以英语为导向的氛围和 ELP 发展以及 EMI高等教育机构政策的采纳和实施被视为利用上述设施的灵丹妙药。参与者还确认，EMI 教育使他们的 ELP 受益匪浅，使他们能够用英语找到工作并进行工作场所沟通。研究发现，毕业生的语言意识形态是由英语在学术和经济目的中的作用和重要性所塑造的，通过提供符合全球标准的课程、获取知识、以英语为导向的氛围和 ELP 发展以及 EMI高等教育机构政策的采纳和实施被视为利用上述设施的灵丹妙药。参与者还确认，EMI 教育使他们的 ELP 受益匪浅，使他们能够用英语找到工作并进行工作场所沟通。研究发现，毕业生的语言意识形态是由英语在学术和经济目的中的作用和重要性所塑造的，通过提供符合全球标准的课程、获取知识、以英语为导向的氛围和 ELP 发展以及 EMI高等教育机构政策的采纳和实施被视为利用上述设施的灵丹妙药。参与者还确认，EMI 教育使他们的 ELP 受益匪浅，使他们能够用英语找到工作并进行工作场所沟通。高等教育机构以英语为导向的氛围和 ELP 发展以及 EMI 政策的采用和实施被视为利用上述设施的灵丹妙药。参与者还确认，EMI 教育使他们的 ELP 受益匪浅，使他们能够用英语找到工作并进行工作场所沟通。高等教育机构以英语为导向的氛围和 ELP 发展以及 EMI 政策的采用和实施被视为利用上述设施的灵丹妙药。参与者还确认，EMI 教育使他们的 ELP 受益匪浅，使他们能够用英语找到工作并进行工作场所沟通。
