Learning a new language goes beyond simply acquiring a skill – it’s a journey that reshapes how we think, communicate and perceive the world. It enhances resilience, empathy and open-mindedness, while also deepening understanding of cultural identity and our place within a global context. 

In this webinar we will explore how language learning plays a role in the academic and professional success of international students. We will consider the transferable skills that lie at the intersection of academic success, professional excellence and personal wellbeing. 

We will discuss how recognising and emphasising these skills through an English proficiency test can better prepare students for the academic challenges and professional demands they will face, ultimately enhancing their overall readiness for success.
