Using Q methodology, this study examines the challenges in English-medium instruction (EMI) and corresponding coping strategies among engineering students. The participants included 47 current and former undergraduate engineering students at a Thai university. The findings revealed three factors, each representing a distinct combination of challenges and coping strategies. The first factor represents students who encountered unfamiliar characteristics of instructors, yet they adopted an emotion-focused approach, treating these unfamiliarities as opportunities. The second factor pertains to the complexity of writing tasks due to limited vocabulary and grammar deficiencies, which were addressed by using various learning resources to enhance their writing skills. The third factor highlights the limited opportunities for spoken English communication within the programs, yet students remained positive, acknowledging the overall benefits of their participation. The findings offer valuable insights for the development of EMI engineering programs that cater to the unique needs of students.

The study employed Q methodology to investigate Thai primary school teachers’ emotion regulation (ER) in classrooms with migrant students, categorizing them into different cohorts based on their shared ER strategies and exploring how these strategies influence teachers and their multicultural classrooms. Three distinct teacher groups were identified. The first group, re-rationalizers, address obstacles by reinterpreting them in a positive light, emphasizing their roles as moral guides and facilitators of student development. The second group, change makers, tackle communication issues directly with a strong commitment to student support and an inclusive mindset. The third group, self-distractors, manage emotional difficulties by shifting their attention to the positive aspects of the situation. Although they may not directly address the issue, this strategy helps maintain a positive atmosphere in the multicultural classroom. These strategies highlight the importance of understanding teachers’ emotion regulation among the participants to enhance their effectiveness in working with diverse students, with implications for policymakers and education at large. The findings underscore the significance of understanding teachers’ emotion regulation strategies to improve their effectiveness in diverse educational settings. These insights have implications for policymakers and educational practices.
