Tóm tắt

Các trường đại học ở các quốc gia không nói tiếng Anh ngày càng áp dụng các bài giảng bằng tiếng Anh như phương tiện giảng dạy (EMI). Dường như có một giả định rằng hiệu suất của sinh viên trong các kỳ thi tiếng Anh tiêu chuẩn có thể được coi là tương đương với kiến thức từ vựng cần thiết để hiểu các bài giảng EMI bất kể lĩnh vực chuyên môn. Đối với những từ không quen thuộc mà sinh viên gặp phải, người ta giả định rằng chúng có thể được thu nhận qua việc nghe các bài giảng này. Tiềm năng cho sinh viên thu nhận những từ không quen thuộc một cách ngẫu nhiên trong khi nghe các bài giảng này vẫn chưa được khám phá đầy đủ.
