Academic Integrity Through the Lens of MOI Policy: A Case Study on Tertiary Students' Perceptions
This case study examines the perceptions of tertiary students regarding academic integrity within the context of the Medium of Instruction (MOI) policy and English for Academic Purposes (EAP) in a private tertiary institution in Hong Kong. The MOI policy in Hong Kong has received considerable critical attention due to the complexity of language use in the classroom, as well as the gradual developments in the policy before and after the handover. The emergence of technology in teaching and learning, along with the massification and privatisation of higher education, has further created challenges for institutions to promote academic integrity and enforce penalties for violations. By presenting data from quantitative surveys and focus group interviews, this study investigates the relationship between MOI and EAP students’ perceptions of academic integrity, aiming to encourage teachers to reflect on their pedagogical approaches in light of students’ language backgrounds and perceived language abilities.
