بخشی از متن:Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to evaluate an English Proficiency (EP) programme and its efficacy
with respect to students’ academic performance in a university within a multi-lingual context, as the
programme had been in effect for some years.
Design/methodology/approach – A quasi-experimental approach was used to study the efficacy of an EP
programme in a university within a multilingual context. Data across two academic years were used, along
with regression discontinuity design.
Findings – Results suggest that the EP programme had a significant and positive intervention effect on
students’ initial semester grade point average. The programme effect size was found to be medium to large.
Research limitations/implications – It might be useful to extend the study for one more year for more
concrete conclusions. As the study was anchored upon the structure of the 2016 EP programme, any major
curricular/structural change to the programme warrants another study.
Practical implications – This study demonstrated that the implementation of EP programmes in higher
education institutions is essential not only for international students who are foreign language speakers of
English but also for domestic students in English-speaking countries, especially for bi/multilingual speakers.
Originality/value – Previous studies related to the efficacy of EP within higher education have focused on
international students who speak English as an additional/foreign language. Further, most studies have
focussed on students’ self-reported experiences and have yielded disparate findings. This study contributes to
scholarship as it addresses the under-researched area related to domestic students who speak English as the
first language in a bi/multi-lingual context.
