This study looks closely at how 7 North American
Institutions of higher education have developed highly
focused, intensive English as a Second Language programs to
prepare immigrant and foreign students to study in North
America.
The rising middle and upper middle classes of low and middle
income countries such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia,
Brazil and many other countries has created a surge in foreign
students particularly interested in studying in one of the Big
4 countries of international higher education: the USA, the
UK, Canada and Australia. This study, in addition to providing
useful statistical information about the US foreign student
and immigrant markets, presents detailed profiles of how Smith
College, the State University of New York at Buffalo, the New
School, DePaul University, Kirkland Community College, the
University of Calgary, and Central Michigan University have
developed ESL+ programs to teach English and encourage the
social ties and links that lead to immigrant and foreign
student success in North America.
The report details how the above mentioned programs developed
their programs, how they fit into their college’s
administrative structure, how they hire faculty, develop new
programs, market their services and achieve their
missions.
