NATHAN-J DEVOS is an academic who published a paper in 2019 entitled Com,,aring First-Term Students' English Language Proficiency at a Canadian Polytechnic Institute. NATHAN-J DEVOS published this work as part of a team: Devos, Nathan J. Here is a description of this work: Can,,dian post-secondary classrooms are linguistically diverse. This diversity comes from immigration, more access to higher education for marginalized and minority groups, and international student recruitment. An institute's language prerequisites serve as tools to help admissions decide who is linguistically prepared for study in English. Despite these language prerequisites, some students still need support with their language development to succeed in intense, two-year diploma programs at polytechnic institutes. The objective of this study, therefore, was to explore first-term students' language proficiency and compare differences based on language and education variables. The long-term goal of the project is to create local language diagnostics to identify and support students during their diploma programs. Participants were recruited from.
