Full textAbstract
Background: Today’s world considers English as a global language because there has never been a language so widely spread or spoken by so many people as English [1]. The main idea of English medium instruction (EMI) is to combine the conventional instruction of content-area subjects with foreign language-learning. Using a foreign language is certainly a major obstacle in problem solving in mathematics since it involves abstract among English and Odia medium students with respect to their scores in mathematical problem solving ability test. Results: Results reveal that there is a significant difference between students of English medium and students of Odia medium with regard to their scores in mathematical problem solving ability test. Conclusion: Problem solving ability in mathematics is high among students studying in Odia medium schools as compared to the students of English medium schools.
