    English-medium instruction (EMI) is expanding in Turkey and especially at higher education. Universities with EMI are more favored and popular for students and parents in comparison to universities without EMI. There are integrative and instrumental reasons to prefer universities with EMI. Therefore, English, in a way, competes with Turkish as the medium of instruction, especially at higher education. English is partially used as a medium of instruction at some universities which offer one third of the lectures in English and the others in Turkish. However, views of lecturers on whether EMI is a requisite and benignant in terms of instructional goals are generally ignored. This paper reports on the results of a survey of 63 lecturers that have different titles at university, such as professors, associate professors, assistant professors, and assistants from engineering faculties of two universities with partial EMI. This research aims to compare their attitudes towards EMI. A Lickert-type scale questionnaire was used in the study to collect data on attitudes of lecturers. The findings may provide some insights into lecturers' perceptions of their teaching in English: lecturers in partial EMI programs may consider that they are less capable of performing their teaching duties or may feel some aspects of teaching to be more difficult.

    Using semantic mapping technique in vocabulary teaching at pre-intermediate level
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2013) Dilek, Yesim; Yuruk, Nurcihan
    The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of using Semantic Mapping Technique in comparison to traditional technique in vocabulary learning and to find out whether there is a relationship between students' beliefs about vocabulary learning strategies (VLSs) and what strategies they prefer to use. 32 students at the pre- intermediate level of English from Selcuk University, at the Department of School of Foreign Languages took part in the study. Quantitative data was collected through a two-part questionnaire. The results revealed that students' beliefs and their preferences were related. For the experimental study, target vocabulary items were taught with Semantic Mapping technique to experimental group and control group was introduced with traditional technique. To analyze the difference between semantic mapping technique and traditional technique, t-test calculations were used with the results of the pre-test and post-test. According to the results, semantic mapping technique is more effective than the traditional teclmique in vocabulary learning. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
