The Importance of English Language Competency in the Academic Success of International Accounting Students
Morris, Michael; Maxey, Shirley
Journal of Education for Business, v89 n4 p178-185 2014
The authors investigate the information content of two commonly used admission tests, namely the Graduate Management Admission Test and the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The analysis extends prior research by investigating the incremental information content of individual components from one admission test conditional on the information contained in the other admission test and undergraduate grade point average. The results suggest that for international applicants in master of accountancy programs, the TOEFL test is the only one that yields statistically significant incremental information content about academic success. If admissions officers were to eliminate one of the tests, it should not be the TOEFL.
