In 2008, the Australian Government provided funding to the Australian Universities Quality Agency (AUQA) to complete a project to develop good practice principles for English language proficiency. This report lists 10 principles of good practice, split into themes, with an explanation of each theme and examples. It provides a review of current practices; summarises the issues raised as part of Cycle 1 AUQA audits; and offers recommendations for consideration as follow-up to the project. AUQA has indicated its intention to use these principles as part of its audit process as it does with other good practice guidelines.
