Abstract

The Achieving Success Everyday (ASE) group model is used to promote self-esteem and academic performance of English as a second language (ESL) students. The findings from the preliminary data indicated that the participants' self-esteem was significantly improved after participation in the group. There was no significant improvement in the total GPA of the participants, although 75% of the participants made modest improvement in GPA. This article explores implications for practice and research.
