The English Language Entry Requirements of Australian Universities for Students of Non-English Speaking Backgrounds.

Coley, Mary

Higher Education Research and Development, v18 n1 p7-17 Apr 1999

A survey investigated Australian universities' requirements for English-language proficiency of non-English-speaking background (NESB) students, including international students, permanent residents, and Australian citizens. Findings are presented, and the 61 pieces of evidence accepted by universities as fulfilling English-language-proficiency requirements are discussed. Comparability and validity of the proficiency qualification are explored. (Author/MSE)
