“…Moreover, in a Japanese context, Thompson, Aizawa, et al (2022) observed that students’ self-efficacy and other factors could predict success in an EMI course: students with stronger self-efficacy beliefs made more effort and considered course activities as development opportunities; their results highlight the need for self-efficacy development opportunities for students entering EMI study. In a similar study, Thompson, Takezawa, and Rose (2022) found that students in EMI business programs who had stronger self-efficacy beliefs succeed more in the programs than did students with weaker self-efficacy beliefs. In the context of universities in Saudi Arabia, Alhamami (2021) reported that (i) Saudi computer-science students preferred to learn computer subjects in Arabic, their native language, and (ii) their societal attitudes and self-efficacy beliefs significantly predicted their preferred MI.…”

This paper hypothesizes that higher proficiency in the medium of instruction (MI) is a precondition for effective instructional communication (IC), with the latter being essential for higher cognitive processes, positive affects, and better performance in the learning environment. The reported study used questionnaires comprising open-ended questions to survey 341 content instructors who taught on 26 undergraduate programs with English as the MI (EMI) in a Saudi public university. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the resulting qualitative data, and the results reveal four themes. The first theme is the advantages of using the students’ mother tongue (Arabic in this case) as an MI; the findings show that doing so is related to robust IC, with the latter leading to better cognition, positive affects, and stronger performance in the learning environment. The second theme is the advantages of using EMI, which can be classified into three main areas: more educational resources, better international research collaboration, and more international job opportunities. The third theme is the use of code-switching in EMI classes because of poor IC; instructors code-switch for three purposes: cognitive, affective, and performance. The fourth theme is suggestions from participants for how to improve IC in EMI programs: the findings recommend the use of IC theory and linguistic relativity to examine EMI programs; also, collaboration among IC researchers, cognitive linguists, and EMI researchers will help understand how the MI influences students’ success; furthermore, policymakers must design curricula that consider the perspectives of content instructors and provide them with training to overcome several IC barriers in EMI programs.

“…Of 18 manuscripts selected for this systematic review, nine studies tested the role of general English proficiency in predicting EMI students' learning success [ 1 , 16 , 19 , 22 , 23 , 43 , 46 , 48 , 49 ]. The results revealed that general English proficiency was the most important predictor of academic success, playing a vital role in EMI students’ learning achievements.…”

“…Among 18 empirical articles, five inquiries have assessed the power of EMI students' self-efficacy and self-concept in predicting their academic success [ 44 , [46] , [47] , [48] , [49] ]. As the outcomes of these studies indicated, both self-concept and self-efficacy are the important predictors of students’ academic success in EMI courses.…”

“…Media is a source of learning, so in large terms the media can be interpreted as people, objects, or events that allow students to gain knowledge and skills (Thompson et al, 2022). Educational media or learning media can grow, and develop in accordance with the development of learning technology.…”

The development of technology is currently growing so rapidly, various applications and online media are becoming increasingly popular to be used as learning media, including Youtube and Edpuzzle which can be used as learning support platforms with interactive, effective and fun video media for students. Arabic language learning with audio visual is needed by madrasah Aliyah students, so that learning is not boring and more interesting. This research aims to develop the Edupuzzle platform as an audio-visual learning media for Arabic language learning in madrasah Aliyah. The method used in this research is research and development with the Kemp model. Kemp's model is a learning design model designed in the early part of education aims to provide guidance to learners to think about general problems and learning objectives. The results of this study explain that the Edpuzzle platform can be used as audio-visual learning media in learning Arabic with audio visuals that can facilitate students in learning Arabic online. The conclusion of this research is that the Edpudzzle platform can be used as a learning medium for teachers, especially in Arabic language learning. the limitation of this research is that researchers only conduct research on the Edpudzzle platform for Arabic language learning, for that researchers hope that future researchers can conduct research with the same platform but more explained to support the teaching and learning process in other subjects.
