Эта статья исследует факторы, влияющие на степень использования английского языка студентами в классах по естественным наукам, где используется английский язык как средство обучения (EMI). Были проведены полуструктурированные интервью с семью преподавателями естественных наук частных и государственных школ города Астаны, а для анализа качественных данных был использован тематический анализ. Результаты исследования выявили несколько факторов, которые влияют на степень использования английского языка в ходе изучения естественных наук, в том числе личностный фактор преподавателя. Уровень владения английским языком и методы его преподавания влияют на использование этого языка учащимися, негативным фактором можно считать использование в обучении казахского/русского языков. Важным является начальный уровень английского языка: количество лет изучения английского языка, подготовка к международным экзаменам и др. Эти результаты помогут разработке стратегий и корректив, направленных на совершенствование английского языка у всех, кто изучает естественные науки, что в конечном итоге улучшит их подготовку и академическую успеваемость.

This article explores the factors that affect the extent of students' English language use in Englishmedium instruction (EMI) science classrooms. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven science teachers from private and public schools in Astana city, and thematic analysis was employed to analyze the qualitative data. The findings from the study highlight several factors that influence the extent of English language usage in science subjects, focusing specifically on the teacher factor. The teacher's language skills and methods affect students' English usage, with negative factors including Kazakh/Russian language use. The initial level of English is also important, such as the number of years of English language training and preparation for international exams. Understanding these findings can help inform strategies and interventions aimed at promoting and enhancing students' English language usage in science subjects, ultimately improving their comprehension and academic performance.
