Why is it important?
Students struggle when they start university, they are particularly vulnerable as they need to learn to navigate an entirely new educational system and the additional stress of learning a second language can be very hard on them. The paper discusses a project which identified ways of addressing student stress.
Perspectives
I found the project a fascinating one and learned a great deal from being part of it, writing the article was an added bonus and I am looking forward to further collaboration with my co-authors.
