Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?
Ideal for prospective international students seeking to acclimate to studying and living in English-speaking environments, and for educators supporting these learners.
Aimed at providing non-native English speakers with the skills needed to study overseas at an English-speaking University, this practical handbook prepares students to live abroad, understand university culture, and to improve their English. It is built around activities that give hands-on practice to make overseas university study a success.
'I am still unable to locate any similar texts aimed at the international student market.' - Ann Wakefield, University of Manchester, UK 'Written in a generic way, the authors show a keen awareness of the many difficulties faced by international students. What makes this book accessible, despite its ambitious coverage, is its clear language and presentation.' - Siew Hean Read, Language Consultant, English Language Self-Access Centre, University of Auckland
