As English has become the lingua franca, it becomes an inevitable responsibility for university instructors to design courses with ''English as a medium of instruction'' (EMI). However, due to the lack of available teaching modules, this study takes an action research approach to explore how to integrate the Hope Model into a full English-taught compulsory course for freshmen. The study found that providing students with cognitive and affective scaffolding, along with adjusting the rolling course design and implementing multiple learning assessments, reduces learning anxiety and difficulties and produces good learning outcomes at the end of the semester, including improved English proficiency and professional knowledge. However, anonymous student comments revealed that some struggled with the learning process, probably because of their initial low level of English. Therefore, this study suggests that while scaffolding is crucial, implementing level courses or prioritizing EMI courses as electives can maintain the quality of advanced learning. |
