“…The relationship between perceived task difficulty and the person's cognitive skills (Eccles & Wigfield, 2002) could explain the lack of relationship between perceived difficulty and re‐enrolment. For instance, an employee with a low English proficiency level may find it challenging to improve his communication fluency (Chauvin et al, 2020; Marra, 2012). Nevertheless, his/her professional needs may be strong motivators to pursue training activities.…”

“…The level of English self-efficacy was assessed with the French version of the professional English self-efficacy questionnaire (PESEQ) (Chauvin et al, 2020). It measures non-native English speakers' perceived abilities in written communication, media listening comprehension and oral communication on a 7-point Likert scale.…”

This study investigated the extent to which trainees’ perceptions about previous training experiences determine their decision to re‐enrol in future multimodal training programmes. A post‐training reaction instrument adapted to multiple training modalities was developed. The results showed that trainees’ perceptions of the training design and utility for professional activities had an impact on their intention to attend training, which in turn affected the decision to re‐enrol in English as a foreign language training programme measured four months later. Trainees less satisfied with their training experience also considered it less useful to reach their goals and were less likely to re‐enrol in future programmes on the same topic. Nevertheless, the level of pre‐training motivation to learn and task self‐efficacy should be monitored, as they can strongly affect perceived training usefulness. Practical and research implications are proposed in the discussion.

“…business management) administered in English, project work in English, some aspects of internships in English, etc. The introduction of the English language professional portfolio is crucial because actions in a foreign language ensure the development of foreign language competences enabling students to acquire professional courses in this foreign language, thus, developing self-efficacy beliefs for English, which, according to Chauvin et al (2020), are essential for sustaining language fluency.…”

“…Learning a foreign language outside the context of its daily use is a challenging task for many professionals due to the impoverished, sporadic, inconsistent, and relatively short-term linguistic input, the lack of a training environment, and the need to invest additional resources into the creation of the language learning contexts. This requires time and other resources as well as self-efficacy beliefs about the language and its use (Chauvin et al, 2020), which might be difficult to develop due to the lack of immediate positive learning outcomes. Critically, without language immersion contexts, sustaining the attained proficiency levels might be challenging.…”

The professional knowledge of the English language is essential for ensuring the students' acquisition of the latest findings in medicine and science and for ensuring the good quality of services provided by graduates of medical colleges at the workplace. However, ensuring such a level of language knowledge is not an easy task for the following reasons:(1) different input levels of English knowledge among students; (2) different language learning capabilities of students; (3) different opportunities to engage in English practice (language immersion environment); and (4) one impersonalized curriculum for English learning for all students of a medical college. This study aims to outline a model that can help ensure a higher level of English acquisition at medical colleges. The model combines the traditional approach to foreign language teaching and CLIL inclusive of study courses and internship activities.

“…As an international common language, English is of great significance in the process of global integration. It not only plays the role of international communication, but also greatly promotes the global politics, economy, culture, trade, education, and other fields [1][2][3]. English has gradually become an important part of higher education, and the level of English has been an important quality of senior talents.…”

Currently, there are two main problems with the evaluation of college English teaching quality: the lack of a complete evaluation system, and the limited quantification of evaluation indices. To solve the problems, this paper sums up the evaluation contents of college English teaching quality, and identifies the factors affecting the teaching quality of college English. On this basis, an improved evaluation system was established for the assessment of college English teaching quality, which is theoretically innovative. Next, grey clustering analysis and entropy weight method were combined into a robust evaluation model for college English teaching quality. This research provides a new and applicable solution to quantification of college English teaching quality.
