Factors that influence students to study languages Within the Australian context, the highly prescribed nature of many undergraduate degrees, especially in professional fields, often means that elective space is limited and an additional or concurrent course, such as a combined degree or a separate diploma in languages, is one of the principal avenues for language study. keywords: career; degree; education; employability; graduate; international; internationalisation; journal; language; learning; perceptions; research; skills; students; studies; study; value cache: jtlge-973.pdf plain text: jtlge-973.txt item: #144 of 147 id: jtlge-976 author: Sarkar, Mahbub; Gibson, Simone; Karim, Nazmul; Rhys-Jones, Dakota; Ilic, Dragan title: Exploring the use of self-assessment to facilitate health students’ generic skills development date: 2021-04-15 words: 8558 flesch: 46 summary: 77 cast doubt on the university’s contribution to generic skills development, suggesting little improvement in perceived capability in generic skills as students’ progress in their university studies.
