Universities within English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context began introducing English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) courses into their curriculums, hoping to facilitate global academic exchange (Montgomery, 2004) due to the wave of the internationalization of educational programs. With the changes in the medium of instruction and the materials used in EMI courses, EFL learners’ existing reading anxiety may be exacerbated. Since learners’ reading anxiety is not widely explored within the context of EMI classrooms, this study aims to uncover the effects of simultaneously presented reading supports on EFL learners’ reading anxiety in an EMI marketing course, hopefully to provide effective learning and reading strategies to alleviate such anxiety. Freshman-year marketing students are selected as the participants for this study, and only those with pre-existing reading anxiety will proceed to the reading task. The chosen participants are then required to read through the given passage, in which will be accompanied with its’ corresponding multimedia glosses. An immediate interview will be conducted soon after the reading task to elicit learners’ responses. From this preliminary study, it is expected that the multimedia supports will reduce learners’ reading anxiety and learners’ learning purpose is hoped to be observed as well.
