This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic writing is a key practice in higher education and central to international students’ academic success in the country of education. International Student Adaptation to Academic Writing in Higher Education addresses the prominent forms of adaptation emerging from international students’ journey to mediate between disciplinary practices, cultural norms and personal desires in meaning making. It introduces new concepts that present different patterns of international student adaptation including surface adaptation, committed adaptation, reverse adaptation and hybrid adaptation. Drawing on these concepts of adaptation, this book provides readers with new and deeper insights into the complex nature of international students’ adjustment to host institutions. It works through many unresolved issues related to cross-border students’ intellectual, cultural, linguistic and personal negotiations. This book presents a trans-disciplinary framework for conceptualising international students’ and lecturers’ practices within the institutional structure. This framework has been developed by drawing on a modified version of Lillis’ heuristic of talk around text and positioning theory. The framework enables an exploration of not only the reasons underpinning international students’ specific ways of meaning making, but also their potential choices in constructing knowledge. A distinctive contribution of the book is the development of a dialogical pedagogic model for mutual adaptation between international students and academics rather than the onus being on exclusive adaptation from the students. Existing research on international education indicates the significance of reciprocal adaptation between international students and academics. Yet very little has been done to conceptualise what mutual adaptation means and what is involved in this process. The dialogical model introduced in this book offers concrete steps towards developing reciprocal adaptation of international students and academics within the overarching institutional realities of the university. It can be used as a tool to enhance the education of international students in this increasingly internationalised environment. This book is a significant contribution to the field of international education. It takes a critical stance on contemporary views of globally mobile students. The insights into international students’ voices, hidden intentions and their potential choices in meaning making presented in this book will attract dialogues about the critical issues related to inclusive practices, internationalised curriculum and institutional responses to the diverse needs of international students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study assessed the effects of a specialized first-year foundations course as an intervention for international students' academic and cultural adaptation at a large, Midwestern, public research institution (very high research activity). This was a quasi-experimental, mixed methods study, consisting of two quantitative and two qualitative analyses. The results of the quantitative analyses indicated that participation in the first-year foundations course significantly (p [less than or equal] 0.002) improved students' academic skills, including writing, delivering effective presentations, and summarizing main ideas from existing sources. In addition, participation in the course resulted in positive (p [less than or equal] 0.05) changes in students' independent learning, self-analysis, and goal-setting abilities. One of the more encouraging findings of this study was participants' increased understanding of social diversity in the United States, as well as an increased (p [less than or equal] 0.05) comfort level with individuals of diverse backgrounds. Quasi-experiment participants also utilized university resources and services more frequently than the control group participants (p [less than or equal] 0.05), and were more academically and socially engaged (p [less than or equal] 0.05). Of particular importance was participants' more frequent interaction with American students, both inside and outside the classroom (p [less than or equal] 0.05). The qualitative analyses of this study discovered distinct challenges faced by international students, determined by differences in educational systems, as well as differences in cultural norms and expectations. The analyses also identified various sources of motivation utilized by study participants and shed light on the peculiarities of their acculturation process. In addition, the qualitative portion of the study identified aspects of psychosocial development and strategies for academic success essential to international student adaptation. Implications for higher education policy makers and suggestions for future research are discussed. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest llc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores the experience of being an international student in higher education Over four-million people worldwide are currently studying abroad. These international student sojourns are, first and foremost, social experiences, with social interaction being both a success factor for and an outcome of this intercultural transition. But what's it like being an 'international' student? How is the experience different from studying 'at home', and what might make it a positive experience or otherwise? Schartner and Young detail how recent research has attempted to answer key questions related to the transition between different national learning environments, and show how it is helping to inform debates, policy and practice on the 'international student experience'. They also introduce a guiding conceptual model that captures the adjustment and adaptation trajectories of this unique and important group. This book: - Encompasses the full temporal range of the international student experience, from the decision to study abroad to the longer-term outcomes after the sojourn - Draws together findings from across a transdisciplinary range of areas including social psychology, education, applied linguistics and intercultural communication studies - Explores the international student experience and how it might be understood as an academic, psychological and sociocultural phenomenon of adjustment and adaptation - Provides a researcher toolkit showcasing a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches, enabling researchers to study both processes and outcomes of intercultural transition in higher education Alina Schartner is Lecturer in Applied Linguistics at Newcastle University Tony Johnstone Young is Reader in Applied Linguistics and Communication at Newcastle University
