Abstract

Abstract This study examines discipline-specific attitudinal differences in translanguaging when studying through English Medium Instruction following a mixed methods research design. The quantitative data for this study came from the Mathematics, Physical and Life Sciences ( n = 173) and Social Sciences ( n = 172) divisions of a major public university in Turkey. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted ( n = 20). After conducting exploratory factor analysis to validate the questionnaire, we ran two independent samples t -tests to investigate the differences in the attitudes of the participants. Results revealed a statistically significant difference in the general attitudes towards translanguaging in the two divisions but not regarding their attitudes towards teachers’ and their own use of translanguaging in class. The qualitative analysis provided partial support for the quantitative analysis. The research suggests important implications by validating the translanguaging questionnaire in the Turkish setting and by highlighting discipline-specific differences observed towards translanguaging practices.

跨学科EMI学生对译语的态度差异

摘要本研究采用混合方法研究设计，考察了英语媒介教学中跨学科学生的跨语言学习态度差异。本研究的定量数据来自土耳其一所主要公立大学的数学、物理和生命科学系(n = 173)和社会科学系(n = 172)。还进行了半结构化访谈(n = 20)。在进行探索性因素分析以验证问卷后，我们进行了两个独立样本t检验来调查参与者态度的差异。结果显示，两科学生对译语的总体态度差异有统计学意义，但对教师和自己在课堂上使用译语的态度差异不显著。定性分析为定量分析提供了部分支持。该研究通过在土耳其环境中验证译语问卷，并通过强调在译语实践中观察到的学科特定差异，提出了重要的意义。
