Abstract
This master’s thesis studies Estonian native speaker students’ views on English-medium instruction (EMI) at the University of Tartu. The growth of EMI in higher education is a situation many countries face, including Estonia. It is accompanied by a set of problems ranging from societal to personal. The opinions of Estonian native speaker English as a foreign language (EFL) students at the University of Tartu on this topic have not been researched before. The aim is to answer three research questions:
1. What are Estonian native speaker EFL students’ general attitudes towards EMI in Estonia and at the University of Tartu?
2. What do Estonian native speaker EFL students consider the benefits of EMI?
3. What challenges do Estonian native speaker EFL students experience in EMI?
