[摘要] :
Since 2018, Taiwan’s government has been promoting a “Blueprint to Develop a Bilingual Nation by 2030”. In response to this trend, many universities have established English-medium instruction courses and curriculums. This study analyzed the teachers' motivation and needs with the hope that it will develop a suitable, localized training program for EMI teachers in Taiwan. A cross-sectional mixed research method was employed, which provided triangulation of various data from participants from diverse academic backgrounds. The research has included multiple research tools, a survey, and interviews. Quantitative data was derived from a survey of 97 college teachers from different universities enrolling in the EMI training programs. The qualitative research included interviews with 4 EMI experts. The findings showed a great variation in the Taiwanese EMI teachers’ English levels and displayed some weaknesses in their listening and speaking competence. The teachers were motivated to participate in the program for learning-based reasons, including increasing their self-development and self-expectancy. They also hoped it would increase the students’ benefit rather than approaching it as simply an instrumental motif. They expressed a strong need for EMI training, especially in EMI online teaching skills and EMI instructional methods. Suggestions about how to maximize the EMI training programs benefits are also provided.
