Abstract

From a viewpoint of seeking ways to assist International students to attain their academic potential, the English usage of a group of first year students was examined and parallels found with academic performance. The implications for universities and teachers are discussed and possible teaching strategies proposed. It is acknowledged that the data did not permit a causal relationship to be concluded.
