The main concern of the current paper is to discuss English medium of instruction (EMI, henceforth) in all aspects with a particular focus on its challenges and difficulties reported by both students and teachers by discussing the relevant research studies. As EMI is gaining the greatest importance among the researchers, policy makers and educators; it is of crucial importance to clarify the main instructional problems during the implementation process in order to reach a clear understanding. Within this purpose, an integrative research study was undertaken by selecting five major works on the challenges of EMI within various contexts. Accordingly, these fundamental research studies were analyzed through document analysis in order to answer the main questions in this integrative research study which attempted to provide a comprehensive picture of EMI in Turkish context. As the interpretation of the qualitative data revealed the EMI policy had not only instructional challenges but also language related difficulties both for students and teaching staff.
