A video-based method of instruction was introduced to develop students academically as well as to implement parallel medium instruction. An action research approach was followed Lectures were video-taped beforehand and worked through with the students by a tutor in scheduled Afrikaans or English periods. Simultaneously a live class situation was handled by the lecturer in the other language. Over and above these methods additional video-based support sessions were conducted by tutors for high risk students. A survey indicated that 85% of students were satisfied with this method of instruction. The perceptions of high risk students to VSI were positive and they passed the examinations. Video lectures need to be carefully planned in order to be acceptable as one of a number of possible instruction methods at a multi-cultural university.

This article reports an evaluation of a group intervention for academically high-risk students. The Excellence-Commitment-and-Effective-Learning (ExCEL) program was developed using Sedlacek's noncognitive model for employing cognitive and noncognitive strategies in a group. Eleven academically high-risk freshmen in a public Midwestern university participated. The results show that participation in the group appears to have enhanced the students' academic performances and study skills.
