Article Synopsis
- Mastering the language of a standardized exam, especially for ESL students, is crucial for success in tests like the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE).
- The Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program at the University of Puerto Rico implemented various strategies, such as English tests and increased reading assignments, to improve language proficiency among students, which positively impacted their NPTE passing rates.
- Recommendations from literature suggest that PT programs should focus on enhancing English proficiency, vocabulary, question comprehension, and targeted preparatory activities for students who struggle.
