There has recently been an increase in “English as a Medium of Instruction” (EMI) in Higher Education(HE), which has led to some reforms in the educational system, as it becomes easier to reach the latest researches and developments in the field of didactics.

This article aims at investigatingthe problems that face the use of English among the students, the lecturers, and the staff of the English department.

A mixed method -that included some questionnaires, small interviews and some field notes also- was used in this study with a sample that was chosen carefully from master English students ofthe languages department of Oran2 university.
