I am a new grad librarian in my first 'real' job (after 20 years of admin and policy work in non-libraryland). My workplace is a small private college with exclusively overseas, fee paying students doing a range of business and accounting type degrees at both undergraduate and post graduate level. All our students are from mainland China. I am facing the challenge of trying to get students in the door of the library and participate in an academic skills program with other staff designed to bring student's academic English up to at least the standard that their spoken and understood English is at. I will be joining the interest group! I found this article thought provoking and highly relevant.
