As international activity has increased among higher education institutions, so has interest in multilingual student success and resulting retention and graduation rates. While many institutions have robust services designed to promote student success, not all services fundamentally meet the unique needs of multilingual international students who matriculate from varying cultural, linguistic, and educational practices. DEAC is offering a webinar that reviews the role of English proficiency tests in admission practices and considers best practices for multilingual international student support post-enrollment.
