This research synthesis examines key themes and findings on international students and education migrants in Canada.

What Is The 'Economic Value' Of Learning English In Spain?, Molly M. Robbins Jan 2015

Scripps Senior Theses

This paper uses historical and economic references to evaluate the economic value of learning English in Spain. Seeing that English is the lingua franca in politics, business, and technology, it is a necessary skill for Spanish citizens to possess in order to efficiently interact in foreign relations of all kinds. Due to Franco’s harsh language policies, and Spain’s ineffective education system, Spain has lacked the same linguistic exposure to foreign languages—especially English—than the rest of Europe.

A Qualitative Investigation Of The College Choice Process For Asian Americans And Latino/As At A Public Hbcu, Dina C. Maramba, Phd, Robert T. Palmer, Phd, Denise Yull, Ed.D, Taryn Ozuna, Phd Dec 2014

A Qualitative Investigation Of The College Choice Process For Asian Americans And Latino/As At A Public Hbcu, Dina C. Maramba, Phd, Robert T. Palmer, Phd, Denise Yull, Ed.D, Taryn Ozuna, Phd

Given this, we explored the college choice process for Asian American and Latina/o students at a public HBCU. This article concludes with implications to help HBCUs be more intentional about increasing the recruitment and enrollment of students from these populations as well as discussing future research considerations.
