Abstract: This case study investigated the influence of teacher-relevant factors on the effectiveness of English-medium instruction (EMI) at Shantou University Medical College. Data were collected from questionnaire survey, focus interviews and classroom observations. The survey data were subject to multi-linear regression analysis and content analysis was conducted for textual data from the interviews and observations. The regression analysis indicated positive correlation between teaching effectiveness and two teacher-relevant factors: EMI experience(rs=0.393, P=0.001) and oversea training/work experience (rs=0.318, P=0.008) and both of them independently affected the EMI teaching effectiveness (OR=2.68, 95%CI:1.13～6.34, P=0.025; OR=12.53, 95%CI:1.17～134.52, P=0.037).
