Özet:

Even though the conceptions of what higher education institutions expect to gain from education differ across Europe it is very much clear that the ultimate goal of an educational institution is to graduate students who are ready to compete with other graduates from other institutions and or countries Therefore different institutions in some countries have begun to offer courses in the medium of English to be able to get an edge in the growing market The question that should be asked at that point is whether this approach increases the efficiency of language learning In other words the goal of the study in hand is to test whether teaching a content through a foreign language can be regarded as an approach to rise the already challenging process of learning a second language In order to answer the research question “Does content based language instruction affect the learners’ perception of their study field?” 40 students from three different departments of two state universities were given questionnaires The universities differed from each other in terms of the medium of instruction The results reveal no statistically significant difference between the two groups In other words all the analyses for the study were calculated on SPSS 1 3 version for Windows
