  • Biggs notes that research results indicate that the difficulties perceived by international students differ in extent from problems perceived by local students, and not in kind.
  • The ETOC, the Expert Centre on Language, Communication and Education
  • Developing additional (didactic) course elements (e.g. developing writing assignments). Making teaching aids (handouts, good practices, assignments) available (by means of an online writing center). Developing policies concerning the teaching of communicative skills, aimed at imbedding teaching communicative skills into curricula (Van Kruiningen, 2004).

    Ugh. I can't annotate the PDFs. Janopoulos might have some useful info on writing proficiency exams, but from 1995. Ann M. Johns (2001) has some best practices opinions for international comp and (1991) for English competency exams. Matsuda and Jablonski (n.d.)--seems to contradict what I said about the difference in L1 and L2 learning needs being only a difference of degree. Wolfe-Quintero and Segade, "University Support for Second-Language Writers Across the Curriculum" (1999)--looks promising. Angelova & Riazantseva (1999)--case studies of international students learning the conventions of academic writing in the US. Zawacki & Habib (2010) "'Will Our Stories Help Teachers Understand?' Multilingual Students Talk about identity, academic writing, and expectations across academic communities."  As a side note: working with these kinds of sources could make an interesting WAW theme for a Comp II-international section.
