Abstract:

Higher education institutions in Anglophone countries often rely on
standardized English language proficiency exams to assess the linguistic
capabilities of their multilingual international students. However, there is
often a mismatch between these scores and the initial experiences of
international students in both academic and social contexts. Drawing on a
digital ethnography of Chinese international students’ first semester
languaging practices, this book examines their challenges, needs and successes
on their initial languaging journeys in higher education. It analyzes how they
use their rich multilingual and multi-modal communicative repertories to
facilitate languaging across contexts, in order to suggest how university
support systems might better serve the needs of multilingual international
students.
