Bridging the Gap – How ESL Programs Can Address Real Student Challenges

While the ESL industry is booming, international students still face significant language and academic challenges when studying abroad. A recent study found that despite scoring well on tests like IELTS, students often struggle with:

📌 Understanding Academic English – Many learners find university lectures, research papers, and professional vocabulary difficult.
📌 Speaking & Expressing Ideas Clearly – Learning grammar in a classroom doesn’t always prepare students for real-life communication.
📌 Cultural & Learning Adjustments – Many ESL learners need time to adapt to new education systems and expectations.
