Languages Canada has released the results of a national study conducted by Academica Group that examines the impact of English for Academic Purposes programs on international student retention and achievement. At universities, international EAP students had higher GPAs and retention rates than their non-EAP peers; at colleges, their academic outcomes were on par with their non-EAP peers. “These findings send a clear message to public institutions and policymakers alike: EAP programs are not remedial,” said Languages Canada Executive Director Gonzalo Peralta. “They are a powerful enabler of student success.”
