概要 This research note preliminarily investigates the Australian higher education sector as it pertains to
its international student cohort. Australia is one of the major higher education study destinations in the
world. The sector is a vital component of its service-orientated economic model which aims to progress a
knowledge economy. In recent decades, Australia has committed to a skilled migration policy to
which the higher education sector is inextricably tied. It is not an uncommon pathway for international
students who have enrolled in and graduated with an Australian degree to then seek employment and
permanent residency. Thus, they will likely face the challenge of the International English Language
Testing System (IELTS) test more than once. The IELTS test and its gatekeeping function for non-
Australians has a two-fold purpose. Its score assesses both the English language proficiency of
international students' enrolment into Australian universities and plays a role for their entry into the
Australian workforce.
