Higher education institutions in Anglophone countries often rely on
standardized English language proficiency exams to assess the
linguistic capabilities of their multilingual international
students. However, there is often a mismatch between these scores
and the initial experiences of international students in both
academic and social contexts. Drawing on a digital ethnography of
Chinese international students' first semester languaging
practices, this book examines their challenges, needs and successes
on their initial languaging journeys in higher education. It
analyzes how they use their rich multilingual and multi-modal
communicative repertories to facilitate languaging across contexts,
in order to suggest how university support systems might better
serve the needs of multilingual international students.
