This book is a practical, informative and concise guide for college and university faculty across all disciplines who are dealing with today's diverse student body: an increasingly ethnically, culturally and linguistically diverse group. It helps staff to understand multilingual students and offers advice on how to help them to succeed.
Today more and more ethnically, culturally, and linguistically diverse students enroll in our college and university courses. These diverse, multilingual students enrich our campuses and at the same time present challenges. Who are these students? What skills do these diverse students need to be successful in college? How can faculty help them succeed? For faculty in all disciplines seeking answers to these questions, this is an essential book. This text provides practical advice on how to assist these students with academic tasks and how to help them to succeed in the academy.
