Factors Affecting the Implementation of English Medium Instruction in Secondary Schools: An Exploratory Factor Analysis

Abstract The present study aimed to identify the major factors influencing the implementation of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in secondary schools through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). A quantitative research design was adopted, and data were collected from 150 participants, including teachers and school administrators, using a structured questionnaire consisting of 30 Likert-scale items. The Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO) measure and Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity confirmed the suitability of the data for factor analysis. Using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with Varimax rotation, six significant factors were extracted: Teacher Competence, Student Readiness, Institutional Support, Policy and Leadership Support, Parental Involvement, and Challenges and Barriers. These factors collectively explained 65.00% of the total variance. Cronbach’s alpha values ranging from 0.79 to 0.86 indicated satisfactory reliability of the identified dimensions. The findings revealed that teacher competence and institutional support play a vital role in successful EMI implementation, whereas student readiness and implementation challenges act as major barriers. The study highlights the need for effective teacher training, enhanced student language support, improved institutional resources, and context-sensitive educational policies to ensure successful and inclusive EMI practices in secondary schools.
