This study aims to explore gender differences in students’ perspectives on language
use within higher education (HE), using data from a survey distributed to students
at two universities in Norway and Finland. Analysing responses concerning
language use in HE, I found that most students were positively inclined towards
English medium instruction (EMI). However, while there in both countries were
only small differences in attitudes towards EMI between male and female students,
in Finland, female students were less confident in their English skills than male
students were. Furthermore, female students in both countries reported more
difficulties in coping with English in their day-to-day studies, as compared to male
students. This article demonstrates the advantages of applying a multidimensional
perspective when analysing gendered attitudes in HE. Further, the present study
highlights some of the practical challenges that HE institutions should acknowledge
in order to implement language policies that meet students’ needs.
