Great post!
We don't praise students enough for their ongoing achievements... multiple language use is one. International students sometimes attribute struggles with problems to language.... so often these problems are faced by first- language students in the same context.
If you are supervising an international student who is trying to write in their non-native language - tell them how awesome they are. They often feel incompetent, frustrated and even stupid. In reality they're really smart - just doing something very complicated. Tell them.

My @SenateCA colleagues @StanKutcher and @DonnaDasko co-hosted a moving commemoration of three years of 🇷🇺 aggression in 🇺🇦 today in Ottawa with the 🇺🇦, diplomatic & parliamentary communities. A moment for sober reflections in a sad & turbulent world.
