摘要：Higher education institutions in the United States are experiencing tremendousgrowth of international students. This essay serves as a case study of how an institution isaddressing its growth from a handful of international students to nearly 10% of its total studentpopulation in a decade. The authors describe writing instruction and the lack of writinginstruction related services for international students on campus before and during the increasein international student numbers. They then describe the process of developing separateworkshops for students and faculty based on survey results and the creation of a BridgeProgram to help prepare international students for institutional writing expectations.Throughout this article, the process of internationalization through recruitment ofinternational students is critically examined. The authors focus on the changing policies andpedagogies associated with this growth, faculty reactions to and support for addressing theneeds of this new population, and students’ own reflections on their linguistic preparedness inlight of the rigors of university expectations. The article concludes with an analysis of the rolesplayed by the students, faculty, and institutional policies in internationalization efforts as theyare related to the creation of “insiders” and “outsiders” on college campuses.
