Abstract
Purpose: To analyze students' attitudes toward English-Medium Instruction (EMI) classes for nursing students. Methods: From January 23 to January 30, 2020, a survey was conducted using a web-based survey program on student attitudes, satisfaction, and improvement measures for EMI classes. 216 responded to the survey, giving a response rate of 63.7%. Results: The item with the highest score on the attitude toward EMI lectures was 'EMI classes will be of great help to student's future'. The item 'I will try to speak English with my classmates outside of the EMI class if possible' showed the lowest score. Students answered that they need an appropriate educational environment for the smooth operation of EMI classes, fewer students per class and support for group studies
