This paper examines EMI students' linguistic background, histories, experiences and attitudes. A questionnaire was administered to 357 students from the departments of medicine, biology, economics, humanities and engineering of a Northern Italian university. Data analysis involved both qualitative and quantitative elements. The results reveal an overall positive attitude toward English and the EMI learning experience, but they also point to some perceived shortcomings regarding their linguistic abilities.

A questionnaire was administered to 357 students from the departments of medicine, biology, economics, humanities and engineering of a Northern Italian university. Data analysis involved both qualitative and quantitative elements. The results reveal an overall positive attitude toward English and the EMI learning experience, but they also point to some perceived shortcomings regarding their linguistic abilities.
