Abstract / Summary
By Darwish Abdulrahman Yousef. The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of the factors included in the academic performance conceptual framework developed by Lebcir, Wells, and Bond (2008); namely teaching style, English language and communication, and assessment methods on non-English speaking business students’ academic performance in quantitative courses. A simple random sample of 250 business students at a private university in the UAE was chosen. Descriptive statistics were used to present the main characteristics of the respondents and the respondents’ opinions regarding the three factors of concern. Additionally, multiple regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses of the study. The results revealed that the academic performance of non-English speaking business students in quantitative course (measured by quality points) is influenced by teaching style, English language and communication, and assessment methods. Implications, future lines of research, and limitations are discussed.
