Lecturers At The Crossroads Of Englishisation: Perceptions Of Flipped Learning And Open Edx For Emi Preparation In Algeria
Authors : Rouaghe Fouzia .
Abstract
The rapid expansion of English as a Medium of Instruction in Algerian higher education has intensified the need for coherent and sustainable teacher support. This study investigates university lecturers’ perceptions of using a flipped learning approach to integrate Open edX based General English courses with face-to-face language centre provision for EMI preparation. Adopting an exploratory quantitative design, data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 47 EMI lecturers across three departments at Setif 01 and Setif 02 universities. Descriptive statistical analysis indicates strong overall support for flipped learning, with a large majority perceiving it as beneficial for teaching effectiveness and professional development. However, participation in Open edX was uneven, and substantial proportions of respondents expressed uncertainty about the alignment between online content and the communicative demands of EMI classroom practice. Findings suggest that lecturers value interactive, practice-oriented support and do not regard online provision alone as sufficient. The study argues that flipped learning can serve as an alignment framework in which online input is deliberately connected to guided rehearsal of authentic EMI teaching tasks. It concludes that sustainable EMI implementation depends less on the availability of digital courses and more on institutional coherence, differentiated pathways, and performance focused professional development that supports transfer from online study to classroom practice.
