To improve the tutoring of Asian international students, we surveyed them about (a) their perceptions of the similarities and differences between their English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction in their home countries and their U.S. English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction and (b) whether they thought their instruction prepared them for U.S. academic writing. The responses of the 42 students who took the survey reveal that unlike their U.S. ESL work, their EFL courses emphasized grammar rules and sentence structure more than uniting and rhetoric, and were thus perceived as more helpful for language learning than academic writing.
