    (UNIVERSITY OF ABBES LAGHROUR-KHENCHELA, 2023) Rechachi Hassina - Boussalem Hadjer
    Abstract The present paper was an attempt to study what are the benefits and challenges of having English as a medium of instruction. To attain the aims of the study, the researcher employed a mixed methods approach wherein different data collection instruments were used. A questionnaire that consists of fourteen questions was administered to 13 master one learners studying Computer Science at the University of Abbes Laghrour in Khenchela to investigate their standpoints about using English as medium of instruction in their college. Besides, an interview was conducted with six teachers to elicit information about their attitudes toward using English as medium of instruction in Computer Science department. The results revealed that both learners and educators believe in the usefulness and benefits of using english as medium of instruction in the Computer Science department . Also, both teachers and learners admitted that implementing it in Khenchela University classes lead to the generalization of the use of the English Language and thus raise the academic level of students. This study was conducted with a small sample of lecturers and students in the department of computer science at Khenchela university, therefore, provides only a partial of the situation. This limits the generalizability of the results to other departments. Researchers recommend other methods and more indepth research to be undertaken in the future to shade more light in this specific area.
