Transitions and Transformation: Lessons Learned from Educating International Students in a Globalized Age - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This research, which examines the cultural transition of international students in a globalized society, provides current information, of particular value to professionals in the field of adult education, including researchers, instructors, and administrators in formal or informal adult educational institutions.This research is timely because U.S. universities serve an ever-growing population of international and immigrant learners from diverse cultures and backgrounds. This causes difficulties for both learners and American instructors and administrators, who are faced with learners whose strengths and weaknesses may differ drastically from educators' experiences. With updated information, more effective services can be provided for international students. As an example, knowing that face-to-face instruction can be very stressful for international students; adult educators could attempt to offer more hybrid classes, wherein part of the interaction takes place online, which may be a less stressful environment for international learners.
