How to improve the way you welcome your language students

The 5th Annual International Student Survey was answered by more than 62,000 students. It was meant for students who want to study abroad to find out what is important for them, but I think that there are many parallels that can be drawn with language students.

Quality and price are obviously important criteria, but it could be argued that it would be the same in the use of any product or service around the world. Who wants to buy something that is expensive and crap?

So the most interesting thing you can see in the pie Venn Diagram below (never thought I’d use that in a blog) is welcoming and safety. Students want to be made feel welcome, and they want to be safe.
