Pathways programs blend English and academics to help foreign students succeed
James Gregory Friedman stands at the front of an Oregon State University classroom and writes two words on a white board: disposable income.
"What does that mean?" he asks, looking expectantly at his students, who are mostly male, Asian, and, for the moment, silent.
Mr. Friedman is an English-language instructor, but these days he is spending much of his time discussing business theory and basic engineering principles, as part of a new program here for international students.
